Pivot of the Sky

Amon shouted in his heart, "Don't fall down! Don't lose consciousness! The beasts in the mountains and the crocodiles in the river will eat you!... I have not yet arrived at Monfise, I have not yet seen Aikkom, I have not solved the secret of the gods, and I have not yet guided the people back home..."

But the strong feeling of dizziness was out of his control, and while Amon opened his eyes, the sun in front of him gradually faded. A cat drilled out of the mountain forest on the high slope and flew to Amon's side, scratching his face with claws and screaming anxiously, but he was unresponsive.

In fact, Amon can hear the cat scream, as if it came from far and far away, as if the trance in front of him had become clear again. He saw Schrödinger, but not Schrödinger, who was screaming at the beach at the moment, but the cat he had seen when he was a kid in Duke town.

Amon “saw” his childhood, and from the moment he was born, those moments of happiness and sorrow flashed, and all the people he loved and hated came back to the present.

In Ecumenical mythology, man's life is like the river Ronnie, at the end of which is the place under the control of Osiris, the god of the underworld. The Spirit sends a moon-shaped ship to lead the noble soul, and when Osiris' waiter, the Best Goddess, who became a cat, appears beside the body, the soul of the deceased is resurrected in the land, and thus enters another world.

Is the legend true? Osiris' ribs were in Amon's arms, and a cat screamed anxiously beside him. At this point, a boat came up the Ronnie River, very small when it first appeared, just a black dot on the sky, and as it gradually approached downstream, it could be seen that it was a magnificent moon-toothed ship, a tall boat, with two people sitting on one side.

Maria suddenly asked, "Did you hear something? ”

Gabriel replied: "The sound of running water, the sound of the wind blowing the mountains and the sound of a cat screaming, far east. ”

Maria: "Order the ship to sail near the east bank. ”

The two men were remarkable in sight and saw Schrödinger and Amon lying on the ground far away. Maria's divine colour suddenly became a little strange, seemingly touching a long and profound memory, muttering: “Gabrielle, I think the cat's pattern is familiar! ”

Gabriel: "Eyes familiar? Isis Temple is surrounded by many cats, which are animals worshipped by our Ecuadorians. ”

Maria explained: "Remember? Two years ago, when I first got the tears of the gods, one night, I was startled by a cat. ”

After her reminder, Gabriel also remembered, "I remember the cat, somehow sneaking into your room, dirty and fat, snoring and sleeping. This cat is different, many clean and much prettier, it should not be the same cat. ”

Maria sighed in silence: "People's lives change, and I think cats do the same. I remember the pattern of the cat, almost exactly like the cat. Order the boat to stop at shore. Go and see what happened to that man. Few cats are seen to be so concerned about their owners.” A long time has passed in Duke Town, but somehow Maria remembered it very clearly for just a few days, just as deeply into her mind, she can recall every scene and even the pattern on Schrödinger.

The big boat eats deep water and has no way to get near the shallow shore beach, but stops far away. Gabriel jumped down the boat building with an arrow, her toes gently on the deck, her bow slightly sinking, she jumped high and jumped ashore, she was in perfect shape!

Gabriel walked to Amon with his sword and bowed his head, “Poor, loyal cat, your cry is so anxious, is this your master? What happened to him? ”

The samurai walked in the wind, even a lion would retreat because of her temper, but Schrödinger did not run away, but just squatted on the ground and looked up at her. Gabrielle couldn't help but find herself a little funny. She talked to a cat who couldn't answer her question. So she lowered her head and swept the breath around Ammon with puppeteering eyes. Then she turned back and shouted, "Holy Virgin, this man has no scars on his body, but he has suffered serious injuries, great physical and energy consumption, is already in a state of disillusionment, the power of life is passing, but he is not dead. ”

The voice did not drop, but a faint golden halo appeared over Ammon, and a white mist fell on him in the halo, like a quiet and flowing milk waterfall. This is the “Blessing of Isis," a prayer divine technique that the Virgin uses the tears of the gods to perform.

It not only treats injuries and illnesses, but also eliminates pain, washes away fatigue, restores strength and gives people confidence, strength and courage. In short, it amounts to a combination of theological effects that eliminate any negative effects.

It was first carried out by Maria two years ago in the Syrian desert, south of the town of Turk, when a convoy was attacked and Gabriel was injured in a feud, and Maria suddenly used the magic. It was the simplest and most profound form of divinity, when Maria was still weak, and "blessing Isis” was just a symbol.

But today the situation is very different, with Maria practising high-ranking divinity and praying for Amon alone. Just a short time ago, she had just been promoted to level six magician, and in just two years, her achievements were amazing!

The milky white curtain falling in the golden halo spilled on Amon, and looking at Maria, she got off the boat sometime, walking over the cloudy Ronnie River water with the Virgin's staff. Without the aid of a scroll or other magic tool, it is difficult for a level 6 magician to control gaseous and hydraulic divinity at the same time, as if she were a Limbo microscopic god. But it's not surprising that Maria might have the best cane in the world.

The servants saw the Virgin tread ashore and greeted her on the deck. Gabriel asked in surprise, "My lord, how did you get ashore yourself? ”

Maria came a few steps away from Ammon and stood still: "I want to see what's going on with this man. He seemed to have gone through a struggle, all his strength had been exhausted, and he had been seriously injured beyond what his mind and mind could bear. It's dangerous to just faint in the wild, and I can wake him up and ask him what happened. ”

Amon lay there, looking back at the scene, but his gaze appeared blurred and pale. He felt so comfortable that consciousness seemed to have disengaged from the body, or the body seemed to be conscious, like floating in the clouds. It feels like the gentle touch of a mother as a young child, a memory that has been too long and almost forgotten. He saw Aristotle, Gabriel, Accor-Maria, and went back to that compound in Duke, and his vision was set on Accorum's shape.

As he looked at her, the girl in front of him was particularly blurred and became clearer and clearer. She seems to have grown up with a mysterious and mature elegance, surrounded by scenes that are no longer the courtyard of Duke Town, but return to the wilderness by the Ronnie River. She was wearing a golden crown with a cane in her gown, and Amon looked into her eyes.

Amon woke up and didn't realize he was awake. He was still in a bit of a trance and looked at Maria and said to herself, “Aikom, is that you? You look so beautiful, just like I thought, I finally saw you!... Am I dead? How could I see you here? This is not a shady underworld, is it another home for the soul?... where the hell is this? What should I call it? If it's a name, can it be heaven? ”

Gabrielle frowned, “My lord, what is he talking about? This person is not very conscious yet, it must be the wrong person! ”

When Maria heard Amon scream the word "Accord”, her weak body shivered slightly. When Saint Mary, who had always calmed down, rarely had such a breakdown, she was fortunate that Gabriel stared at Amon without noticing. At this moment, Maria had identified who was lying on the ground. Despite the dramatic change in Amon's appearance, Wu Fu's face still carries the shadow of the teenager, and the pattern of the cat around him is so familiar, how can it be someone else?

More importantly, he called out her tits, and Maria didn't think anyone would ever call her that again in the world!

Maria remembers writing a line on the wall in the room upstairs in Duke Town, "Amon, my name is Aimette.” Then he wiped it off. How could he have found it? Wasn't it the scrubbing that left a mark? But this confusion was quickly diluted by another surprise - Amon was alive.

Maria naturally heard about the floods, and it was said that the entire town of Duke had been destroyed by the floods and no one had survived, so Amon should be dead. Shortly after she officially became the Virgin, she was heard crying alone and in the dark. It was her first and only tear in the Temple of Isis, as if it were a symbol of goodbye to the past.

But Maria always felt that Amon was not dead and should not have died. Perhaps this feeling was just her inner expectation. I didn't expect to see Amon again today.

When Amon said that, he passed out again. Maria didn't hide anything from Gabriel, and then calmed down and said as calmly as possible: "I know him, and you should know him, that is Amon, who made the tears of the gods in the town of Duke, remember? ”

Gabriel said, “It's really like him. No, it's him! He grew up, but as soon as you reminded me, the cat lost a lot of weight. He's still alive. What a blessing! But how did you get here today and what happened? ”

Maria turned around and looked no further at Amon, sighing softly: “The ancient record is true, it was he who extracted the tears of the gods and made me the Custodian Virgin. Today I met him again, truly the summons and guidance of the gods! This man is important, and we should save him, protect him, not leave him here. He is no longer in danger of his life, take him away and wait until he wakes up to ask. ”

When Amon woke up again, he found himself lying on a boat, and Schrödinger squatted beside him. In the noon sun, a faint golden glow flashed, constantly falling on him. The feeling of dizziness and nausea gradually dissipated and the pain in his body slowly disappeared. Of course, he knew that it was a clever prayer magic, which should have been healed by a magician at all costs.

Amon is no longer in danger, but is still weak and needs a good rest before he can recover. His energetic head looked around and found the leaf canoe sailless and impelled by an invisible force, following the waves behind a magnificent ship. Standing at the back of the boat was a samurai, a beautiful woman, but seeing her at first sight was a daze.

Amon asked with a groan, "Lord Gabriel, how can I see you, and where are we? ”

Gabriel smiled slightly: "You know me, it's you, Amon! I remember your voice. I don't know why you fainted on the shore, but the Virgin saved you and ordered me to take you back. ”

“The Virgin? Oh, she's the one I just saw. Lord Gabriel, I came from Cape Town State and came across an attack in the mountain forest..." Amon finally woke up and understood what had just happened, struggling to get up and talk.

Gabriel's voice was not loud but very dignified, stopping him: “Don't move or speak, Her Majesty's boat is ahead, and Her Majesty is carrying out a divine cure for you. Please lie down and keep your mind quiet until I ask you something. ”

Ammon lay down quite nicely, with some warmth in his heart, and the hot sun and breeze on the Ronnie River became so gentle, peaceful and peaceful. He finally relaxed completely and no longer feared and worried. I really didn't expect to see Aime-Maria again in such a way. Not only did she quietly heal him, but she also sent the heaviest samurai to escort him, for which Amon was grateful.

Adult men are not allowed to touch the Virgin and include her daily belongings, so Amon cannot board Maria's boat. Maria ordered someone to lay down the leaf boat and let Gabriel escort Amon behind.

Gabriel looked at Amon and was surprised to see that the Virgin had sent her to escort Amon alone. Maria sat aboard the ship, constantly practicing the art of prayer and healing the wounds of Amon in a vacuum, but was not perceived by any other followers. This is an unimaginable gift! Amon, however, seemed to be entitled to this treatment, and His Holiness inspired the tears of the gods of divinity, which he had mined with his own hands.

Gabriel thought so quietly in her heart and looked at Amon without saying a word. Her task was both to protect and escort him, and it was impossible to let him go without asking clearly what had happened to Amon.

The afternoon boat docked on the shore and there was still a way back to Dream Feather, resting in a town halfway through the day. The Virgin of course lived in the temple. Don't worry about anything, Amon had a comfortable car and horse to transport him, and a quiet little courtyard was arranged in town, where several very clean slaves waited for him for dinner.

Gabrielle came after dinner and sent away all the servants, only her and Amon in the courtyard. Amon knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Holy Virgin, for saving me! ”

Gabriel waved, “Amon, get up and talk. The Virgin is a symbol of the people who have been blessed by the Isis Goddess. It's no surprise she saved you, but we didn't even think it would be you! Your Holiness, let me ask you something. What happened to you? ”

If it was someone else, Amon might not want to tell the truth about his experiences, but Maria sent Gabriel to ask, and Amon didn't want to hide too much. He was alone, carrying so many heavy past for so long, there was nowhere to talk, and he could finally say it. Although it was only a brief encounter, Maria and Gabriel rescued him when they met again, and Amon had a sense of trust in his heart.

Amon recounted his experiences, and after Maria and Gabriel left the town of Turk, he was banished to the deep mountains for his own tears of the gods, but happened to have avoided that catastrophic flood. He spent more than a year in the Cave Wildlings' tribe and happened to see Nero's legacy and relics. Later, he stepped out of the mountains and went to the Kingdom of Baron, and recently to the Cape State of the Ecumenical Empire, where he returned Nero's relics to the Temple and received a generous gift of his own.

He left Cape Town State with the gift and went to Memphis, where he encountered the pursuit of two groups. After a struggle, all the murderers died, and he struggled to get to the ferry, but he finally couldn't help but faint halfway. That's what happened.

More than two years of experience was too complicated, and Ammon simply gave a brief overview of some things, including the past of the old lunatic and Bell, and his experience with the Goddess of Mu Yun. Not out of distrust, of course, he couldn't tell Gabriel that he was a magician and saw Bell's last words. These things cannot be mentioned, or they will only cause trouble for themselves and others. The passage of Nero relics coincided with what he said during the Cape Temple.

Having said this, Amon took out an envelope of cowhide that had already been prepared and delivered it to him: "Among those who pursued me was Lord Vitru, the priest of the Temple of Isis, which I found on his body. It looks like a confidential letter and may be important. Please do not pass it on to Her Majesty, I know you are worthy of respect and trust. ”

This letter was originally processed by magic, and Amon opened it and sealed it with the same means. This is also the method of processing the artifact, the first “artifact” processed by Amon Pingsheng could be this envelope.

Gabriel took the letter, and the colour of the gods shocked: "You were banished for giving the tears of the gods, but this is precisely why you avoided the flood, which is also a blessing of the gods. … this letter has been processed by the divine arts and I will give it to the Virgin to open personally. You rest here. You're not going anywhere. I'm not done. ”
