Pivot of the Sky

036, please seduce me.

After the flood, the western side of the land will form a black-fired marsh, unable to pass through a large group of people, and Hati's army will have to head south into the Syrian desert and turn northeast to reach it from the edge of the newly formed inland lake. To the north of it is still the Assyrian plateau, blocked by mountainous hills, where Assyrian troops need to cross the plateau in order to enter.

To its east, it remains a natural barrier in the deep mountain jungle of the perilous underwater valley. The area south of the inland lake remains a desert. Baron and Ecu's army wanted to enter and could only cross the desert from east to west and then north.

This area has a natural geographic barrier and difficult expedition supply lines with all the surrounding countries, so its consumption and casualties are particularly high once a war is waged! There will be clear advantages if anyone takes the place one step ahead, establishes cities, states and estates, and has a military and economic supply base. Anyone with an eye can see this.

It is for that reason that a great mixed war between nations is inevitable, and there is no telling how much bloody smoke will spread on the fertile soil. Flooding is what Enrique calls a gift. A brand new wave of wilderness appeared on the Heavenly Pivot. It could have been a peaceful and prosperous home, but Gore seemed to have seen the coming of another disaster, which was also the result of one's own choices.

Gore, though predictable, cannot be stopped.

Grey even analyzed a military strategic posture. Originally, the Kingdom of Assyria did not pose a significant threat to the Hati border, as the cost of waging war was enormous if their forces were to cross the Assyrian plateau. But once the situation has changed, it is unlikely that there will be enough benefits to make people pay enough. Overturning the plateau, Assyria is, from a military standpoint, the most advantageous in the war situation, but its power is relatively weak.

From the point of view of the war supply line, it is naturally in the best interest of the Kingdom of Hati, after all, the town of Vouno, which is located nearest to the State of Syria. But in terms of strength, the Ecumenical Empire is the strongest in the southwest direction. In the southeast, the country of Baron is comparable to Ha 'aretz, and the supply line is not very long enough to cross the Syrian desert from the lower river.

The situation in each country was comparatively superior and inferior, as if no one was sure that it would prevail in absolute terms. For all of this, one can only analyze the posture on the basis of experience, and cannot draw conclusions with great prophecy. Even if the kingdoms of Assyria and Baron do not consider it, there will surely be another war between Hati and the Ecumenical Empire in the foreseeable future!

The mighty Ecumenical Empire subjugated Hati decades ago, but it was because of its geographical location and the difficulty of large-scale and long-term war supplies that Ecumenical was unable to integrate the then Hati kingdom into the map. In order to weaken confrontational contradictions and reach the most beneficial rule, Ecupharaoh allowed the Kingdom of Hati to retain its former temple, but the temple of Horus must be similarly built and endowed with subordinate powers.

Many of the people of the Hati kingdom today are long dissatisfied with the decades-long fate of subjugation and long awaited the opportunity to rebel in secret. Governor Shaw ambushed Rhode-Dick's convoy last time in an attempt to capture the tears of the gods, for no other reason than that.

For the Egyptian Empire, however, the reason for the inability to annex Hati was the barrier between the sea and the desert, making it difficult to govern the area thoroughly in the form of local governance. Today, however, a vast, uninhabited fertile soil has emerged, and the occupation of that land for immigration is not only an extension of Kaijiang, but also an important strategic and economic base for deterring countries.

There must also be some people at the top of the Egyptian Empire who are aware of the growing resistance of the Kingdom of Hati and the sudden emergence of new geographic changes. The best strategic option is to take the lead and send expeditionary troops to occupy Wono around the town of Tuk and extend the border here.

Gore's series of analytical conclusions will take time to really see. The geoclimatic changes he had speculated on with great prophecy had really stabilized to form that fertile soil, at least three or five years later. There will be no controversy in the current year or two, and there is still a muddy deserted swamp around Duke Town.

……

A month later, Gore walked out of the Chamber of Secrets and looked even more tired than he had been since the last flood went down. Instead of taking a break, he called his students, Wallet, Raphael and Governor Xiao Mo, to the temple for a long, private conversation, and no one else knew what Grey had said.

Gore then left the state of the city of Syria and returned to the Hati Academy of Theology in Wangdu, where he remained closed for over a year, asking nothing but questions. In the past, Gore also frequently returned to Wang Du, where he had a title, but returned to the State of Syria City every once in a while to deal with the affairs of the temple, as well as to perform various theological studies and mentoring work at the seminary.

But this time completely different, Grey completely ignored anything about the Shya Temple, and barely appeared publicly at the Hattie Academy of Theology, declaring that he was going to study complex and deep theology, closing the door to thank visitors. His prestige is beyond the reach of anyone in the state of Syria, but it is inevitable that the King will do so. A number of people have impeached Goliath through various channels, criticizing the great magician for his disloyalty.

It was suggested that another theologian be sent to replace Gore as the chief priest of the Temple of Syria, so that he could simply assume a veteran fictional title at the Academy of Theology and specialize in theology. The chief elder of the Academy of Theology had visited and persuaded Gregory, and the result was unknown. King Lucille of Hattie sent a special envoy to inquire into the song, and the result was unknown.

The handling of a great magician was always cautious, and even the king, for whatever reason, had been slow to make a statement. After a long delay, the Khati clergy had finally decided to discuss whether or not to dismiss Grey from his position in the Shrine. At this time, Gore suddenly appeared in the seminary, and people were surprised to learn that he was already a top nine magician!

All the questioning sounds then dissipated. Turns out this great magician is really mindful of practicing magic, can't be disturbed by any outside world, has broken into the highest realm level 9, what other small things are worth comparing? The attitude of those who had previously written the book impeachment and made criticism then changed, sending the most precious gift to Gore. Gore smiled indifferently and took a full breath of relief.

King Lucille of Hattie set up a feast to congratulate Gregory, attended by the senators of the Academy of Theology and important royal palace ministers, and the monarchs had a good laugh. At the end of the banquet, the king summoned Gore alone and had a long private conversation. One is speculating that the king may want to keep Gore in more important positions, such as the high priest of the main temple of Hattie.

However, this speculation disappeared, and the next day Gregory resigned from the crowd, returning to the remote border State of Syria City and continuing to be the main cleric of the State of Syria City.

Gore practiced in closed doors for a year without asking, became a top nine magician, and soon the news reached the state of Syria. When Gore's carriage entered the west gate of the city of Syria, people seemed to pour out the tide to greet each other as if they were welcoming a god, and Gore's fame here reached an inexhaustible peak.

As previously anticipated, the state of Syria, which has been cut off from traffic lines with bordering countries, has been safe and sound for the past year, and the tranquillity has been a bit boring. Gore's return to the city is naturally a celebration, and people who have been idle for a long time are rarely lively.

Raphael is already a level 5 magician, and this young man's qualifications are already very good, and this progress is not surprising. Wallace is also a level six magician, from the sixth to the seventh is extremely difficult, and the vast majority of magicians will be blocked from this threshold for the rest of their lives, otherwise the great magicians will not be in such a position.

Governor Xiao Mo finally took a sigh of relief. For a year, the entire city had enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful life. Only the chief executive was secretly nervous, but nobody knew what he was nervous about. It seems somewhat strange that he wants Grey back in town than anyone else, because without Grey, Xiao Mo is the most noble adult here, has control of all the power, and Grey's failure to come back is more advantageous to his status.

……

On the same day that Gregory returned to Syria City with great solemnity, on the plateau of the Far Bottom Valley, Amon quietly left the Cave Wildlings tribe and embarked alone on an unknown long journey. How could Amon leave at this hour? Things have to start months ago--

Starting three months ago, Amon felt under a lot of pressure when practicing physical surgery. Once the force in his veins exceeded a certain limit, it was as if a small mountain was pressed against him and his whole body was clicking, as if some sort of restriction and obstruction of movement had been applied.

Similar phenomena are encountered by all samurai before advancing to the intermediate class, and must be sustained with great constantness and perseverance in order to make a breakthrough. Some people are unbearable, physics is naturally impossible to advance, and others, while insisting on exercising, are just as unbreakable, not everyone can become an intermediate samurai.

Ammon, however, was well aware that the test of "blood purity” had come and he had finally cultivated tertiary somatology to its peak. He had previously undergone the "purity of the body" test, which was to restore the body to its innate state of health without any hidden injuries or illnesses. And now, with physical exercise, physical improvement occurs the day after tomorrow to accommodate the growth of strength. This level will eliminate many of those who have suffered less or are not congenitally physically fit.

Amon has been accustomed to snacks and bitterness. Since he was twelve years old, he has studied the mining techniques of Duke Town. Absolutely hard work. He also endures the bitter cold spring every night, so he doesn't feel too bad. Body training has never been interrupted.

He was just a little surprised, from the first to the third level of strength, he broke through quickly, thought it would not be long to meet the next test, but it turned out to be hard enough to repair for more than a year. In fact, it was fast enough, and he seemed to have forgotten that he was only fifteen years old, and that was when youth grew up.

In theory, this is the golden age of the advanced to intermediate samurai, and the development of the body is synchronized with the improvement of the physical condition to achieve optimal results. But it's actually too difficult, for example, for Medanzo, who has worked hard since childhood, to advance to level 4 in his early twenties.

Amon used to practice the power of both sides, breaking through from level 1 to 3 so quickly, because the roots were well struck. But from the low to the middle, it's a tougher threshold, and he's already amazing.

It took Amon three months to get rid of the inner pulling force of his body, feeling that it was so light and comfortable around him. It is as if there is a force in the blood that can be activated as it pleases and can be agglomerated beyond the body. If this power is powerful enough, it can even fight many sorceries.

This means that Amon has become a Class IV Intermediate Warrior.

It was a long process, but it was sudden to pass the test. One day, when the tangled pressure in the body somehow disappeared, Amon felt a little relaxed, as if life had been relieved. He waved the scepter as an iron stick. The scepter in the sand seemed to float like a real branch of tree. It operated as if it were a flowing force laser, and the tip of the scepter emitted a faint light.

Lifting as heavy as a hill, then falling down as lightly as a feather, Amon is not very skilled in martial arts, the method of play is still the mining nuclear set. The staff dotted on a rock, making little noise, and the hard rock turned into countless pieces. Amon couldn't help but cry out, “Wouldn't it be easier to control this power to mine the stones? ”

He lacks sufficient experience to recall analogies to those of the past.

On the night of his passing the test, Amon sat quietly in the house and took out the eyes of the earth. Instead of rushing to read the information inside, he waved empty-handed, and another circle of firewalls appeared around his body, a medium-order firewall technique he had already mastered.

As the firewall bounced around the perimeter three feet outside, Amon suddenly snapped a naughty finger, and the shape of the firewall changed into a circle of firefences that remained stationary around the perimeter. With one more hand, Amon stretched inside the upper direction of the fire fence, and the flame snapped him in the middle as a giant birdcage.

Amon thought it was fun and laughed in the dark. This hand is space theology, there is no low order space theology, the beginning of space theology is middle order. Being able to work with two types of intermediate divinity at the same time is already the basic criterion for examining a fourth-level theologian in the Temple, not to mention that Amon has no use for a staff.

Amon, who plays the game of magic, was satisfied himself. He nodded darkly and put away the fire cage, which inspired the eyes of the earth. Unexpectedly, the message left by the old madman appeared in front of him again ——

“Son, maybe I should congratulate you on being a Level 4 magician when you read this divine message. I don't know if you've found Bell, but if you can't, now I have a proposition for you to become a magician and cover yourself as a samurai.

Unlocking the secrets of the gods is not the only way to go, you might want to refer to what Bell did back then. I think Mary, the new Virgin of the Temple of Isis, is very attached to you, and after you become a great magician, you might want to find an opportunity to communicate more deeply with her. I'm looking out for you. You can definitely do better than Bell. ”

The old madman's tone was dramatic, as if he were serious or joking, as if he was usually cynical. In the information that follows, there is some introduction to middle class theology, which is not much, because many types of middle class theology have already been introduced.

In addition to all kinds of intermediate divine arts, new content has appeared in the message that has not been seen before, about how to make artifacts, such as canes, writing scrolls, etc. Writing scrolls must be written in divine language, so the information also describes the specific forms of divine writing and how it is interpreted.

The old madman's voice concluded: “I am not only an eight-level great magician, I am also one of the best artisan masters on this continent, otherwise I will not be able to make your staff. It's not done in a few days, that fine iron embryo in your family, I've been secretly processing it many times over the years, and I didn't give it to you until you walked away.

Learning to make these artifacts may be useful to you, but remember that they are, after all, an exotic technique, not a cultivation of theological abilities themselves, which can be used at critical moments, but cannot be obsessed with this technique and deviate from the most fundamental directions.

Once there was a great magician named Nero, in the early twenties, he broke through the seventh level of achievement, and was described as a divine genius. But he was obsessed with making scrolls and became the best scroll maker in the country. But for more than 40 years since then, it has not broken to level eight, and it disappeared 30 years ago in pursuit of Bel. I think he could have been a Level 9 magician, you have to remember that lesson. ”

The old lunatic predicted the coming of the disaster and arranged the path Amon would have to take in the future, but he was not a full-time man after all. He was not sure if Amon could find Bell's whereabouts. By this time, the information in theology was a fallback reminder. If Amon could not find Bell's whereabouts, he could still become a great magician step by step, as Bell had done in the eyes of the earth.

The old madman taught Ammon how to write at the most appropriate stage, but it was not clear that Ammon had learned from Bell's message. He also introduced the story of Nero, reminding Amon of the lessons learned, but never expected that Nero's relics would fall into Amon's hands. It was only then that Amon realized that the owner of the staff and ring was such a famous scroll maker.

Amon, who was still playing naughty, sighed in darkness, closed the eyes of the earth and knelt down, saluted in the direction of the distant town of Duke to the west, lips kissing the dirt, although this is not the dirt of Duke town, but it is also a piece of earth. He has decided to leave, continue to practice the fourth degree of divinity and physical arts in his travels to meet the next test, and in that unknown world of dust outside the mountains, wait for the "temptation of the devil”.

……

Rink was sitting meditating and suddenly heard a voice in his mind: "Come to the great cave, please don't freak out, I'll wait for you there. ”

This is the voice Amon called out with information magic, and he hurriedly climbed up, accustomed to picking up the bone stick and quietly running out of the house. Coming into the great cave, Amon was already waiting for him, standing behind the fire, facing the stone wall.

Link quickly asked, "Amon, what's so important that you summoned me here in the middle of the night? ”

Amon turned around and handed over a dark yellow cane with seven divine stones arranged in a spiral. “You were a Level 3 magician two months ago, and your physical surgery broke through Level 3. I had promised to give you a true cane. How's this wand? ”
