Pivot of the Sky

Gabriel's words were only halfway through, and many doubts remained in his heart, but he felt that the letter was very important and hurried back to the town temple to report to Maria. Nor was she worried that Amon would run away and could not go anywhere under his current circumstances, not to mention that the yard had been closely monitored.

In Maria's bedroom, Her Holiness opened the envelope in front of Gabrielle, watching as the divine colour grew more and more concentrated, and her white face covered with a layer of frost, silent for half a day. Gabriel asked anxiously, "My lord, you look wrong. What exactly is written in the letter? ”

Maria handed the letter over and said, "Look for yourself, please stay calm and don't be impulsive. ”

Gabriel looked at the letter and couldn't help but get angry. One of his men consciously grabbed the handle of the sword and bitten his teeth with hatred and scolded: “What a despicable man! He will surely be disgusted by the gods! Trying to move me away from Isis Temple is just greedy for that ridiculous power. Holy Virgin, your original decision was entirely wise. Isis Temple does not need a high priest like Julian. He should never have to come back! ”

Maria comforted herself: "You and I already knew what Julian was like and what he was thinking. Amon appeared like a god's guide, and with him and this letter, Julian would certainly not be able to return to Isis Temple. Vitru is dead. Thank God Amon is alive! By copying the contents of this letter and sending Julian back, he will naturally no longer be able to disobey the next order of the Temple of Isis. ”

Gabriel nodded: "Copy this letter with information magic and send it to the high priest of Burke, telling him it was written to him by Julian. I don't think the High Priest of Burke can say anything for Julian anymore, let alone prevent you from reappointing a more determined and devout High Priest of the Faith. ”

Maria: “Well, that's it, you do it yourself. Amon is so important that he cannot be hurt again. ”

Gabriel glanced at the Virgin and asked, “Do you want to pardon Amon? Will an exotic civilian kill a high priest of the Temple of Isis without being held accountable or even ever being brought up again? ”

Maria lifted her eyes and looked straight at Gabriel and asked calmly: "Shouldn't this be the case? Amon is innocent, he did not harm anyone, on the contrary, his noble and selfless conduct symbolizes the calling of the gods. At first he gave the tears of the gods, in the eyes of Goddess Isis. He got Nero's staff, but he didn't own it, and gave it back to Cape Town State. And you should know exactly what this letter means, but he still trusts me and hands it over directly. Is there any reason for such a man to hurt him? ”

Gabrielle couldn't help but bow her head: “Holy Virgin, you're right, of course I understand that. But I've seen too many noble people do shameful things, such as Lord Julian. It is because I have witnessed so much evil in the world and the black tail beneath my gown that I have made my faith and the glory of the Guardian Spirit even stronger. … If it falls into the hands of another adult, Amon's surrender of this letter will put his life in danger, and I'm just worried about him. ”

Maria: “I thought so too, so I decided to protect Amon. ”

Gabriel: "I'd like to ask you one more question. Why do you think so, my lord? Your status is different from mine, and it should be understood that what Ammon knows involves a scandal of Isis Temple, which may disgrace the Spirit or Temple. ”

Maria smiled softly: "The shameful can only humiliate herself. As the patron saint of Isis Goddess, I guard the dignity and glory of the gods. Whether in the sun or in the dark, I will not do anything to disgrace the gods, which is the true faith. ”

Gabriel bowed: "You are indeed the Virgin, and your eyes symbolize the pity of the Goddess. I have to confess, I was wondering one thing in my heart. Amon himself knows what's in this letter and wonders what if he knows what to do? ”

Maria looked at the envelope on the table and said, "The envelope does not look passive and is written in the language of the Ecumenical God. He should not know what it says. Actually, even if he did, what would he do? It wasn't his fault the letter got in his hands. The contents of the letter are important to us and we should thank him! … Gabriel, your words are not finished, I want to ask him personally. ”

Gabriel thought, "You saved him, and he should thank you. I'll arrange for him to have a chance to be summoned by Her Majesty in the morning. This is a small town, not Isis Temple, and everything is more convenient. ”

……

During her visit to the Ronnie River, the Virgin saved a faint passerby on the shore and ordered him to be taken to a small town. Early the next morning, those rescued expressed their esteem and gratitude to the Virgin. The gracious Virgin summoned him, and it was a great honor for him.

Amon waited outside the temple under the guidance of his servant, waiting for the Virgin to finish her breakfast before summoning, in the temple's ceremonial hall, and also in the temple where the Virgin temporarily handled her official duties. The blanket had been laid on the floor and Amon could not walk too close. He saluted the Virgin on the blanket according to the protocol. Both knees and elbows crawled on the floor and kissed the floor with their heads down.

The Virgin sat there, waving to order him to stand up, and said peacefully: “I really didn't expect it to be you, the one who had mined the tears of the gods in Tucker Town, and met again by the river of the Ronnie Divine River, this is the guide of the gods! … Somebody, give Mr. Amon a chair and ask him to sit down and talk. ”

The servants were all surprised that civilians were not entitled to sit before the Virgin unless there was reason to receive a special gift. It was this young man who had mined the tears of the gods. The Virgin did not hide the matter. Frankly, she knew Amon a long time ago. Everyone looked at Amon with amazement.

After Amon sat down, he answered in a routine manner: "I was a miner, and the mining of the stones was my duty, and the gods gave the tears of the gods to the Virgin through my hand. And today the Virgin saved me, I don't know how to express my gratitude! ”

Maria: “I didn't expect it to be you. ”

Amon: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be you either! ”

If there is anything special about this call, it is that Amon always looks into the eyes of the Virgin as he speaks, as he did in Duke. He looked at her and had a silent exclamation in his heart, knowing that there was a difference in status between the two, staring into her eyes was perhaps the only thing he could do, and the adorable teenage emotions could only be buried deep in his heart.

Since Accord recognized him, he must have remembered the “unexpected” embrace and touch, and he almost kissed her. This is an absolutely untold thing, and Aimette did not infuriate him in any way and bury this common secret in his heart, otherwise Amon would not be sitting here at all. Simple Q&A, two people said almost the same thing, and only they could understand.

The Virgin waved her hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Amon, you have not only mined and contributed tears of the gods, but I have also heard another thing. It was not long ago that you returned the staff of the Lord Cleric of Cape Town and many precious relics, what a noble and selfless act. I saved you, and should be the call and guidance of the gods, you should thank Goddess Isis for her gaze. ”

The Virgin then asked how Amon had received the relics of Nero, and because of the hidden past that might have involved a great magician, she ordered all her servants to step back and leave only Gabriel behind.

That “experience” Amon has already said twice in the Temple of Cape Verde, only to repeat it once more. Then he talks about what happened in Cape Town State, and Maria asks, "You're a level five middle-class samurai, but as far as I know, Vitru is a level six magician, and Julian's own guardian is always a middle-class samurai. How could you possibly kill them all? ”

Amon's heart was tight, and this fatal problem could not be avoided, and he could not repeat the entire course of the battle, which would reveal all the secrets.

Maria, however, did not wait for him to answer, then asked: "The Linton clan chief did not thank you for your grace and went after you with the magician and samurai. The two groups of people who were murdered for the same purpose could not reveal themselves. I think it was they who fought to kill each other that gave you a chance to stay alive. Is that so? ”

God, is there a better answer than that? Maria asked if he was like this, actually answering for him. Ammon Ben figured this out. Now he doesn't have to bother with his lips. He nodded quickly: "Holy Virgin, wise and wise, here it is! ”

Gabriel interjected, “Can you remember and describe in as much detail as possible the facial features of everyone around Vitru? ”

Amon describes the features of several samurai, the weapons they carry, etc. Gabriel turned around somewhat surprised: “Holy Virgin, among them Julian's nephew Schutter, and his SS captain Haven. This Haven is pretty good, promising to advance as a great samurai, I didn't expect to die! ”

Maria said with regret, “Mr. Amon, I apologize on behalf of the Temple of Isis, which is most likely behind the scenes of the high priest Julian. But all of them are dead, and there is no conclusive evidence that he did it. According to the Ecumenical Decree, civilians cannot directly sue a major magician, and all charges must be brought on behalf of another nobleman with knowledge of the situation and adjudicated by the Supreme Clerical Court.

Now that everyone present is dead, I'm afraid there won't be nobles familiar with the inside who can make accusations on your behalf. Even in the Ecu Supreme Clerical Court, Julian won't be dealt with in any way, and after being made public, he will be very disadvantaged to you. But rest assured that I will not let this happen in vain and that Julian will surely be expelled from the Temple of Isis because he has harmed the dignity of the Spirit. ”

Amon stood up and bowed deeply: "Holy Virgin, how can you apologize to me? I know what you're saying, you saved me and you're protecting me. ”

Maria waved again: "Amon, why don't you sit down and talk?” And then Gabriel said, “You gave us a secret letter and admitted it came from Vitru's body. You know, why do you trust Lord Gabriel so much with me when a foreigner might risk his life by doing so? ”

Amon seems to be smiling bitterly: "Man lives in the world, and in the face of many unknown perils, you don't know when and where it will appear. But you have to believe some people, if there's no one left in this world to trust, what's the point of living in this world? ”

Maria's peaceful divine colour finally had a slight movement, and Cherry Lips revealed what she wanted to say without saying it. And Gabriel said, "Amon, do you know how to read? ”

Isn't that bullshit, Amon? How can you read Nero's last words if you can't read? And Maria should know better, because I'm afraid Amon knows more than just the book of knives, but also the book of Aegus, otherwise how can he call it "Aikom”?

Amon answered honestly: "My lord, I can read.” There is no explanation as to which language is known.

Gabriel asked, “Do you know God? ”

Amon respectfully replied: "In my capacity, I should not know God, and no one will teach me. ”

Gabrielle stopped asking, and Maria turned around and said, "Gabrielle, can you go outside the door for a moment? I have a few things to ask Amon alone. ”

Gabriel was stunned, but without saying anything, he immediately followed his orders and guarded himself outside the door with a sword. Leaving an adult man alone with Her Holiness in a hall seemed a little inappropriate, but Gabriel knew there would be no problem, and she trusted Maria more than she trusted herself.

What if Amon is an assassin? There is no need to worry about it, let alone Amon's now weak and barely able to walk, even if a great sorcerer suddenly falls into distress, Maria can resist with her holy staff and other artifacts in her hand.

When Maria and Amon were the only ones left in the lobby, they were both silent and had no idea what to say for a while. The question just now did not mention the contents of the confidential letter, and Amon did not ask what it said, nor did Maria ask Amon if she had seen it, and they all deliberately avoided the subject.

After a long time, Maria first asked, "Amon, how do you know my name is Aikoo? By the Ronnie River, I heard you calling me that. Is it just a coincidence? ”

How can I answer that by telling Maria that it was a great magician who recorded the words she had written with information magic? Amon finally lowered his head and stopped looking into her eyes, slowly answering: "Holy Virgin, you wrote this name on a wall in Duke Town. There will always be traces of everything that happens in this world, whether people know it or not, and forgive me for calling you that. ”

Maria was not angry, but looked down at her fingers and said: "Amon, you can no longer call me that in the future, I no longer use that name. ”

Amon raised his head again and said, "Yes, Holy Virgin! Of course I won't call you that anymore, but is it blasphemy to call you that name in my heart? Forgive my disrespect, but this is the truth. ”

How dare you say that in front of the Virgin! Maria was stunned, and some dared not look up into his eyes and whispered, “When we look up at the gods, what we see is the stars above our heads and the honest hearts. Amon, the gods don't blame you either. How can I blame you? ”

Amon sighed silently: “Thank you for your answer, Holy Virgin, someone has said something similar to this to me. ”

Maria lifted her eyes: “Who is it? ”

Amon: “His name is Iso, and he's a slave to a businessman in Memphis, who told me in Cape Town State. ”

Maria strangled the fingers of both hands together and sighed softly: "The nobility of the heart does not make any difference based on identity.... Amon, if you want to call me Aimee, you can call me Aimee today, but out of this door, please remember what I just said. ”

And then they were silent again, and they didn't seem to know what to say. After a while, Amon finally asked, “Amor, are you okay? ”

Maria asked back, "Amon, why do you ask me this, knowing that I am already the Guardian of Isis Temple? ”

Amon drowned his curtains and looked at his toes, weakly answering: "Yes, I know you are already the Virgin. But I also know that you are surrounded by a high priest who is supposed to be loyal and honest, but not what people imagine. If you want to come, you have your difficulties, so I'd like to ask you if you're happy? ”

Maria smiled, as if that girl was smiling innocently: “I've just said, looking up to the gods, I see the stars in the sky and the honest heart. I am the patron saint of Isis Goddess, guarded by holy faith, sinful darkness in the world, is my stronger reason. It is my honor and privilege to live well under the guardianship of my heart and not to describe it as unhappiness! ”

Aimette did not hide anything from Amon, his special ability to feel her true emotions, and at this moment Amon fully understood her words. He looked at her and thought that the Virgin would sooner or later become a great magician, that “integration of faith” would be a difficult test for others, but in her mind it was just a necessary process.

Amon already knows that Accord has achieved six levels of theology, but not for more than two years since she began practicing it. Amon has advanced at an alarming rate, but to date it is only a five-level achievement with a two-sided power that, although more difficult to cultivate, has begun much earlier than Maria, laying the foundations for him several years ago by the old madman.

Had Maria not had the gift of Superman, nor would she have been selected through the Virgin of the Temple of Isis, when she became Virgin, she would have had more convenience than Amon in all the conditions, she would have had any scripture she wanted to see, any artifact she wanted to rely on, besides, she also had the Virgin's Staff, and she would have had the ultimate success in trying any kind of magic.
