Pivot of the Sky

Thousands of miles across the desert alone, of course, must be well prepared, and in that environment, I fear elemental theology will not be able to gather enough water. Fortunately, Amon had a magical bone, so he gathered purified water by the lake and hid it in a bowl, then held Schrödinger in his arms and sat down.

The next morning, Amon left, as if he had left Duke Town, with a fine iron staff and a sleepless cat in his pocket, walking alone through the wilderness. Instead of entering deep mountains this time, he went south in the desert to the distant and unfamiliar Egyptian Empire.

Although it is winter, the sand grains reflect the hot sun in the seemingly endless sand dunes. There are no white flowers on all sides to find a place to hide the sun, as if they will soon be roasted dry. Even the scorpion drilled deep into the sand and stopped showing his head. Amon walked not slowly, and his footsteps never stopped.

He was looking for a place to rest and found nowhere to hide from the sun and the heat, rather than sitting on the hot sand. If someone is around, they will notice that the air around Ammon is cool, and he uses magic. The main reason for this is not to make yourself comfortable, but to worry about the cat in your pocket. Schrödinger was weak, and Amon naturally couldn't bear to let him suffer the heat of the desert.

As he walked, he looked back at what happened to Medanzo, Princess Xiao Xi's plans, Yoon Nanna's plans, and what he saw in the underworld. He felt a little comforted in his grief, his father's soul finally rested, and the soul of the Mayor of Dasti was liberated. Remember the old lunatic once said that Amon should thank and repay Dasti, find Moses and guide him back home to rebuild his homeland, and that was Amon's gratitude and reparation.

Mayor Dusty's soul tells Amon that the Underworld is not the true home of the dead after death, but the world created by the Pluto with a divine art capable of manipulating the dead. Amon, as Yoon Nanna walked through the seven portals of the underworld, had all sorts of complicated feelings. Is that what Pluto called the Divine Domain? It fits perfectly with the identity of Pluto. I wonder what's so different about the divine domain of other gods?

Now thinking back to those seven portals, Amon always felt what was missing, did not completely show the world of the soul after its death, and Amon was disgusted. The old lunatic made him look for a way to become a god, and if one day Amon really became a god, one of the things he had to do was destroy the Underworld and build a true place for the dead.

It's just a little Level 5 magician's fantasy, but who can stop a teenager from expanding his dreams? I'm afraid it's unexpected that Amon had such a wish after his escape from the Underworld. Even if the Pluto knew, it was nothing more than a little mortal she wouldn't take seriously.

The practice of divine walking in the desert under intense sunshine is a constant drain on the power of the divine arts, and only Amon has such a habit. Ammon also knows how to control and regulate it after a weakness that depletes its power on the outskirts of Uruk, avoiding an inadvertent relapse into that situation.

At noon, when the sun was most intense, Amon flied out of nowhere into a cloud of ice crystals, floating forward without evaporating away, like an umbrella reflecting light. I wish I had a wagon with a canopy, and I would have left my wagon in an inn in Acad town. Amon just thought so and looked up and saw a carriage coming.

It doesn't matter if you can walk in the desert, but this car is running too fast. Running all the way in the middle of the day, the drivers are waving their whips and hitting their horses. Is this trying to tire the horses? Shortly after, the car had crossed the sand dunes in front of it, and the drivers saw Amon first, and then they realized that Amon was just a man on foot. Then they shouted in disappointment: “The desert bandits are coming after us, why don't you hide! ”

Amon grew up in Duke and often heard the town's businessmen tell stories of desert bandits. The Syrian desert belongs to the Ecu, Hati and Baron borders, and is also an important trade route for all countries, with large cargo convoys and, naturally, bandits.

Bandits in the desert are said to come and go like wind and fierce, and if encounters make it difficult to stay alive, even those bandits are specifically called desert tribes. This is a thousand-mile uninhabited area, and the terrain nearby is complicated. It is not clear which country the criminals are in, and it is difficult to trace them.

Large merchants usually hire samurai guards for heavy money, and smaller merchants hire bodyguards, but bumping into large bandits can only help themselves. The driver had a good heart. He wanted to call for help, but found that Amon couldn't save them, so he reminded Amon to hide.

The bandits have yet to see Amon, hide behind the dunes or go into the soft sand to cover their bodies temporarily, perhaps escaping a hijacking. Amon nodded to the driver: "Thanks for reminding me that you don't have to be afraid, I'll stop the bandit. ”

I've heard legends of desert bandits since I was a kid, and it's the first time I've met them. He's a little curious, let alone a chance to save lives. Why not do something good? When Amon waved his staff, the cloud over his head quietly disappeared. He walked by the running carriage with branches and immediately heard the horseshoes. Two or four horses chased behind the sand dunes in the distance.

Two robbers, wearing black robes and cloak-covered heads, rode after them and ran with a horse behind them. They carried a rope with them and a snowy curved knife with them. As they chased after them, they shouted: "Fat man, don't run anymore. Reach your head with a knife, but also a knife. Give me the money quickly and painfully, and I will give you a painful one. Otherwise, I'll leave you tied up in the desert and work for adults!... hey, asshole, who are you? ”

The two bandits saw Amon suddenly appearing after rubbing his shoulders against the carriage, and were surprised how he could have emerged. He did not run away from them and did not hide from them. The horse ran quickly and the talking room was right in front of him. The bandit on the left hand was a knife. He was accustomed to killing people. He was too lazy to even ask who the other party was. On such occasions, who met him was a dead man.

The machete is made of fine iron with an arc and is ideal for chopping with the power of running horses. When the knife was split towards Amon, there was a faint milliliter on the blade, and the blade was covered far beyond the length of the knife. This is a martial arts technique only a level 5 samurai can possess. No wonder the legendary Desert Nation is so fierce!

Amon did not die, but heard a click. The “branches” in his hand greeted him and did not touch the knife body. Through the ray, he hit the man directly on the small arm holding the knife.

A sudden scream broke the thief's arm and the knife flew out. The “branches” did not stop, picked straight forward, and the horse rushed forward, but the man was picked to fall half-empty onto the dunes. Another bandit had no idea of this, and his horse had run over and rushed back to Amon with a knife.

As a result, his horse “unfortunately” stepped onto the soft quicksand and fell to his knees while running, suddenly falling forward and beating a roll. The bandit suddenly fell off his horse, was overwhelmed by the rolling horse's weight, and broke several bones. He groaned and fainted on the spot.

Amon cleaned up the two bandits, and the action was incredible, that is, the wrong kind of work.

He himself is also a level 5 samurai, who may not have the same martial arts as the bandit on horseback, did not use any magic against the first person, and only used quicksand falls in the earthly element magic against the second person. But the other side was too light-hearted, the first knife was completely careless, and I had no idea that Amon was so calm and accurate.

Ammon had the experience of hunting in the mountains and beating down all the beasts that came alive, and when they rushed in, they didn't put much pressure on him. And I'm afraid the young Amon hasn't fully realized that he has added another temperament to his body unknowingly, and that he has rarely felt scared and panicked, which may be related to experience.

The Underworld has seen it. How can a bandit in the desert scare Amon, even if he is fierce?

Of great alarm was the level 5 samurai who fell down the dune, raising his left hand and shouting, “Forgive me, I didn't know you were a lone hero!... I'm not here for you, no offense, if you let me go, I will give you a huge reward, my warehouse is full of gold and silver! ”

“Hero, my benefactor, don't let them go, they will come back and kill you with a large band of bandits. These two are the leaders of the desert bandits, who killed all the others in the merchant team, and only the servants took me here in a carriage. It was a pleasure to meet you! ”

From afar came a panting, sweaty fat man, looking back, the carriage had stopped, and the horse spitting foam of the pulling car twitched down on the sand dune. The horse was finally exhausted after being whipped and running under the sun, pulling a car and two others. If Amon were to be a little late, they would have been poisoned.

The scared bandit saw Fatty and suddenly his eyes lit up, pointing at him and shouting to Amon: “Hero, that's him. He has a lot of money on him. If you kill me, you'll be rich! The money on him is all yours. If you let me go, I'll double the reward of the Night Wolf. I'll double the amount of money on this fat man! ”

This man is called Night Wolf. Amon has actually heard his name. The merchants who came to Duke town have mentioned it several times. He is said to have traveled the desert with his 40 bandits. He is an extremely powerful bandit. Even the city and state armies have not succeeded in pursuing him several times. Fatty was terrified when he heard the words, afraid to go this way again, trembling: “Gracious man, you saved my life, I will surely repay you again, as long as I return to Ecu, I can pay you triple this amount! ”

Amon was so good, he cleaned up two bandits and walked alone through the desert. Who knows where he came from? Maybe he's also a solo thief! If he's offended, in this desert where no one lives, that fat man is just as unlucky. With all this in mind, how can one not be afraid, and Fatty hastened to make a renewed promise of gratitude.

Amon ignored the ideas of the businessman and the bandit and turned to the fat man and said, "Are you going to Ecu? And the carriage, um, good! Who are you and what happened? ”

Amon's voice was not loud, but he had his own majesty, and Fatty bowed quickly: “I am Theo, a merchant of the Ecumenical City of Dreamfield, transporting goods to Uruk City State in the Kingdom of Baron for sale. On my way home, I met a bandit, but the two of them killed the merchants' bodyguard and all the men, and only me and my slaves fled here. ”

Ammon asked, "Do you know Lescott Lee when you go to Uruk City to do business? ”

Theo was overjoyed and nodded continuously: “Yes, of course I do. I have a lot of goods that I sell to him, and I often shop in his shop. Are you his friend? ”

Amon: “Kind of a friend, I protected him once. ”

As soon as Theo heard this, he “understood” that Amon was a samurai and had served as a bodyguard for Lescott Lee. He hurried to the next few steps and said, "Great, then we're friends too! I will thank you again if you keep me safe and safe! ”

The bandit got more familiar with them and shouted in a hurry: "Hero, how can you trust a shameless businessman who is less trustworthy than a bandit!... you can get a lot of money now by killing him, let me go, and promise to get another fortune. My Night Wolf is famous for his credibility in the desert! ”

Ammon didn't seem to hear the Night Wolf say, pointing at the four horses around him to Theodore: "Take these horses, one of them in the car, the other three in the back of the car, let's go together, I happen to be going to Ecu, I can drop you off at Cape Town. ”

After the fall of the two bandits, the four horses stood in place, including the horse whose front hoof had just fallen, and were not injured. The horse of the Theola has been defeated, and three more people are travelling long distances in the desert, and one horse is clearly not enough. The two horses, with leather bags on their backs without riding, should be drinking fresh water and must walk in the desert.

Without waiting for Theo's instructions, the servant in the hurry had come to hold all the ropes of the four horses, pulled them together to the side of the car, unloaded the leather bag on the back of the horse and threw it into the car, and replaced it with a horse on the back of the car. He shouted respectfully: "My lord, this hero, the car is ready! ”

Night Wolf sits on the sand dune shouting: "Hero, you can't do this! ”

Amon picked up two curved knives on the ground and handed them to Theodore: "Take this and don't leave it. ”

Theo shivered for a moment, but cautiously took over and whispered, “Don't you kill these two bandits? ”

Amon shook his head: “I don't want to kill people. ”

When the Night Wolf fell, his leg was injured and he struggled to stay awake, shouting: "If you don't want to kill us, why take the horses and water, we will die of thirst alive in the desert! ”

Amon walked to the carriage and slowly replied, "I'm not going to kill you, just because I don't want to, not because you shouldn't die! That knife you just chopped on me was like cutting grass, but once you asked me who I was, do you want me to save you? If you don't want to be thirsty alive in the desert, I have two suggestions: first, wait for the gods to come and save you, and second, kill yourself before the sun dries you up and give yourself a pain. ”

This made Theo shiver again. Amon is really harsh, but it makes sense to think about it. If that knife hadn't escaped, Amon would have been dead in the wilderness. When he got in, Amon asked the driver, "What's your name? ”

The driver replied, "My name is Iso, and I am the slave of Master Theo. ”

Amon nodded: "Iso, you're doing great. Drive back. ”

The carriage turned around, with three horses tied behind it, and three people sitting on it, headed south. Theo opened the curtain and glanced at the Night Wolf's Path, which gradually disappeared from his sight: “He's dead! ”

Amon said, "How do you know, maybe someone will pass by and save them? ”

Theo: “It's impossible. Since the devastating flood, the desert has become a swamp north of the ocean. Land traffic has been cut off. No one else is going this way. I panicked in flight before going north. ”

Amon nodded: “So they're dead. The man's name is Night Wolf. I've heard his name. He's bloody in the desert. ”

Theo suddenly seemed to think of something, a slap in the head: “Benefactor, I have also heard of the name Night Wolf, he has been attacking the mall for many years, Lord Dick, the owner of Cape Town State, is looking for a reward. If anyone can capture or chop off his head alive, there will be a huge reward to send to Cape Town State, you almost missed this opportunity! ”

Amon didn't order the carriage to go back, but the two machetes on the ground: “I'm not interested in this money. If you want it, the knife is under your feet, cut off his head and bring it back to the city. The reward is yours! ”

Theo shuddered again: "I don't have the guts. If you don't want the bounty, don't. Anyway, if you go to Cape Town State, I will thank you again!” This fat businessman looked somewhat unfortunate. He didn't have the guts to cut off the head of a thug with a knife, and on the other hand, he didn't dare to appreciate it. Even if the Night Wolf dies, but his bandits are still there, if you know it was Theo who killed the Night Wolf, can't you walk this trade road?

Carriage continues, Theo asks again: "Benefactor, I do not know where you come from or what your name is. ”

Amon replied, "My name is Amon.” He only gave his name, did not share his origins, and Theo did not ask much. In the merchant's view, since Amon has served as a bodyguard for Lescott-Lee, he may be a samurai traveling around the mainland.
