Pivot of the Sky

Almost all the samurai and magicians in Dreamfield City are in the square. The guard is not strict, but the main duty of the samurai is to maintain order. I never dreamed of an assassin! There are so many people in the square that it is impossible to avoid the infiltration of offenders, but in this situation, trying to disrupt is no different than looking for death, and someone has to do it.

The timing chosen by the assassins was ingenious: when the milky white light shined in the golden sky, everyone knelt on their knees. Look at the size of the arrow, only the strongest crossbow can fire, but the assassin uses a bow! The bow string was originally wrapped around the waist, while the bow ridge and the arrow were hidden in a cane. The assassin disguised himself as a shaky old man, while the people knelt to pray, the bow and arrow suddenly emitted, moving like lightning.

Without mentioning the power and precision of this arrow, it is a sudden firing of this arrow, at least a great warrior can do it!

This arrow is too difficult to hit Maria. How can it not be protected when the Holy Virgin performs the magic? The magic array is a barrier. What the assassins wanted to use was people's relaxation, an unusually weird arrow that paused in the air for a moment when Amon's shuttle gun was ejected, and then became faster.

This was enough for the guards to react, and there were only twelve great samurai under the high platform of the Virgin Mary and six facing in this direction. Several swords swept up and almost simultaneously struck an arrow flying in the air, which could be stirred to pieces even if it was built from the world's most sturdy material.

But unexpected things happened again, and there was a violent fluctuation of power in the sky, but there was no sound, and Amon could only sense it using magic detection. Every time the Swordman struck an arrow, it was trembling like a shadow, violently shaken to make it almost invisible. It lasted several consecutive flights in the air, still unchanged and continued to fly, entering the enclosed half-life of the magic array.

Amon sucked in a breath of cold air and shot such a powerful arrow, a rare warrior. But the sight of his shotgun and the swords of several great warriors intercepting the arrow made Amon think of an extremely brilliant divine technique, the magic of energy.

There is no low or medium order of energy theology. The beginning is high order. Amon has barely been able to practise until now. This kind of theology is very profound and even difficult to understand. All kinds of theology are about communicating with the outside world's energy, transforming the power of the laws of nature, and energy theology is purely the application of energy.

Although Amon hasn't practiced yet, he has the feeling that the energy magic contained in this arrow is probably only possible by the top magicians. The impact, conversion, and depletion of energy cannot change their direction, and the power of this arrow will continue to fly towards the target until it is completely depleted.

How is that possible? No one can be either a top samurai or a top magician. This is the ultimate in the power of the two sides that Amon seeks. Is the assassin a god!

There is also the possibility that the crossbow itself is an unusually precious artifact of divinity, with a great warrior and a great magician at the same time. The samurai fired the arrow with all their might, and the magician performed energy magic on the arrow.

For such a short period of time, Amon was unable to think carefully. He wanted to continue to stop the arrow. As soon as he turned around, he rushed in the direction of the arrow and took another samurai's shotgun. That was the nearest samurai to Amon, kneeling down in piety, not knowing what had happened, with the shotgun in his hand, not even knowing that Amon had taken it.

The arrow fired toward the high ground and suddenly a golden light mask appeared in the void. The arrow was rated for about a breathing time in the air, passing through the light mask and shooting again at Maria.

This distance is already close, only a dozen steps away, Maria is standing on the high stage carrying out an unusually difficult magic trick, can't move at all. But at this moment, a man has jumped to the high ground and stood before the Virgin, Gabriel.

Blessings to all the people have not stopped, the echoes of the bells are still floating in the square, Maria's body is covered with various protections, transparent gas element armor, invisible energy shields, hidden magic shields when the seven colored lights shine. All the brilliant magicians in Mengfei City are all under the high stage at this moment. Half the magicians are running the Divine Array, but the others are not doing the same, so immediately protect the Virgin.

It all happened too quickly, testing not people's abilities, but reactions, and Maria could have gone away, but that meant the ceremony was interrupted, and she chose to trust the people around her. These protections should hold the arrow back, but Gabriel couldn't let it happen, and she did something over the top - only the Virgin could climb on this platform, and she jumped up!

Gabriel's right-hand sword swung out, the silver sword chopped on the black arrow, violently trembling, the stone embedded on the sword broke, and the sword body broke several times. Then time stopped as if Gabriel's left hand held the arrow and the tip of the arrow touched the armor on her chest.

Her hands held steady, the arrow trembled like a struggling snake, and Gabrielle's fingernails seeped with blood filaments, and the arrow was blocked! As the tremor of the arrow slowly stopped, countless cracks appeared on the arrow, which then landed in pieces.

Amon did not catch up with the assassin, who, after shooting a cold arrow, had stepped high and flew to the edge of the square, turning around to see only one shadow. Immediately after that, someone flew over the sky and jumped on the ground. Accurately stepped on a small open space between the crowds, and a few landings chased out of the square.

Maria on the high stage had already given the order with a slight lip movement: "Walter took the magician, Dragon Teng took the samurai after the assassin, Burke continued to start the magic array, the ceremony should not be interrupted, the order in Dragon Shadow Command Square must not be disrupted! ”

Walder is a nine-level magician, the chief high priest of the Temple of Isis, and the other two high priests are Julian and Burke. Dragon Teng is an eight-level warrior, the chief guardian of Isis Temple, and Dragon Shadow is another great warrior. For the first time, Maria publicly ordered that these persons be commanded simultaneously, and no hesitation should be allowed in emergency situations.

Walter led two great magicians, Longteng led two great warriors, and a total of six went after them. Looking at the speed of the assassin's escape, the average person can't catch up. This is the real assassin. One blow, whether medium or not, then goes a thousand miles away. As long as the reaction is a little slow, even his shadow can't be touched.

Amon couldn't help at all. He turned around and picked up the shuttle gun and raised his head. When he saw the assassin jump one step out of the square, the other threw something, turned into a shuttle in the air, wrapped in the shaped laser of two people. The assassin was not alone, there was another person at the edge of the square, and a magic object had long been prepared to escape. The receiver used such a brilliant magic technique that he was clearly a top archdeacon!

The assassin's leap made Amon look as if he saw a familiar shadow. He had only seen the legendary Enlightenment of the first samurai of the mainland with such amazing power and speed, and too similar in stature! If it is indeed Enlightenment Capital, then the person who will receive him must be Gilgamesh. These two men are not afraid of the heavens and the earth, even the gods dare to kill them.

If it's true that Enchidu and Gilgamesh are capable of this, but why go to Dreamfield to assassinate the Virgin? It doesn't make any sense, and these two heroes don't look like assassins. Amon also didn't see who those two were, but there was some doubt in his mind but he couldn't be sure.

It was an amazing event, but apart from the guards around the platform and Amon in the distance, hundreds of thousands of people on their knees in the square were not even noticed, and everything happened between the breaths of the bell echoing. The Virgin ordered the ceremony to be uninterrupted and not to alarm the people on the spot, and the tracker had gone with the assassin. With three great magicians and three great samurai, plus the guardian of the Magic Formation in Menfest City, no assassin can escape.

When the blessing ceremony was over, according to custom, it was a grand carnival, and the people of the city were crying out for praise for the Isis Goddess, a festival that people had been waiting for for for 33 years. Dream Fest City in the carnival hid a tense atmosphere. The guardian function of the magic array on the city wall was quietly turned on, and the detection function was turned on to the extreme. The guards of the city did not participate in the carnival, and the patrolling samurai could be seen in all corners.

The city of Monfist seemed as if nothing unexpected had happened. Outside of Matsuuchi, the Virgin had completed all the ceremonies of the grand ceremony according to tradition, while constantly ordering more men to pursue the assassins.

Neither the samurai nor the clergymen were allowed to return home. Ammon was transferred to the city wall that night to guard, and returned to the Temple of Isis to guard the archives the following day. After the blessing ceremony, he was ordered not to preach to the outside world what he saw in the square, because the Virgin did not want to cause panic among the people.

The news of the assassins appearing at Isis Blessing Festival eventually spread inside Isis Temple. Amon also heard the private conversation of his colleagues. It was said that Chief High Priest Walder had not captured the assassins and let them escape!

On the third evening, Amon was suddenly notified and summoned by Chief High Priest Walter. He was taken to an emerald palace where no candles or oil lamps were lit, but rather decorated with luminous sacred stones, illuminated with magic to reveal their luxury. The Hall sits not only the Chief High Priest, Walter, but also Daya, Lord of the City of Dreamfield - the Slaughter and the Great Samurai Gabriel.

Amon was somewhat disappointed that Maria was not present.

Both the High Priest of Wald and the Lord of Daya praised Amon's actions in the square, asking mainly Gabriel, who said in a praiseworthy tone: “The square is too large and more than half of the magicians are helping the Virgin bless the people in the theological array, and the rest of the magicians and warriors are around the high ground. The assassin was on the edge of the square, surrounded by no magician within a hundred steps.

You are not the nearest samurai to the assassin, you are as close as you are to a total of twelve, and there are four more samurai closer to the assassin. I saw the shotgun you threw. I didn't expect you to have Level 6 achievements and your strength reached the peak of Level 6 samurai. The samurai around the assassin, besides you, are only level four, and no wonder you're the only one who can react.

There are two main things I want you to do today. One is to ask Lord Daya what kind of reward you want. Sooner or later, the matter of the assassins in the Blessing Ceremony will come to light, and the Virgin has ordered that from tomorrow onwards there is no need to hide them, although you can accept their praise. Second, I was wondering if you had a good look at the assassin. Please try to remember him clearly. ”

Reward? Amon is neither short of money nor treasure. The so-called reward is unnecessary. He humbly replied: "My life was saved by the Virgin by the Ronnie River. Otherwise, I would have fed the beast in the wilderness. My weak strength prevented the assassin's arrow, but I did my best. I should have done all this. If an assassin is found unable to stop him immediately, he should only be punished as a samurai on duty, and I am merely discharging my duties without asking for any reward.

To be honest, I didn't see the assassin's face. When I turned around, he flew out of the square and saw only one shadow, very tall. But I have a feeling that I don't know if it's right, this person is very lightweight and seems to have deliberately changed his shape. As for the other responder, I didn't see it at all, it was a dark shadow that was blind. ”

He carefully recalled every scene he saw in the square that day, and after listening, several adults looked at each other, and Walder nodded: “I didn't follow the assassin back until this afternoon, I didn't catch anyone, I didn't expect you to see it clearly, but the question still had to be asked, for the sake of your samurai. What you just said is important. Can you tell me why? Why do you feel that way? ”

Amon shook his head: “I can't describe it. I can't remember the scene for a few days. I always felt that the assassin's figure didn't match his figure. It was just a feeling. There was no clear reason. ”

“This brave samurai, you probably have no idea how horrible the man you're dealing with is going to rush past you, and this fearless spirit is commendable," said Lord Daya. Though you do not ask for any reward, as the owner of the city, I must give it to you. This is an order that cannot be refused. Do you have anything else to say? ”

Amon looked up and said, "In that case, thank you, Lord City! Actually, I just wanted to ask you a question. How is the Virgin? ”

Gabriel said: "The Virgin is safe and sound, and there are many things to deal with these days. Amon, step back. The Virgin will summon you when she has time. ”

The owner of Monfist City gave a large sum of gold and a set of samurai armor and weapons, all of which are naturally good, but nothing compared to Amon's private collection.

Amon is now a level six samurai, and his achievements are quite modest. Starting the next day, Amon, a meritorious Lv6 samurai, was promoted to captain of the Temple of Isis archives, his monthly salary rose from five gold coins to fifteen gold coins, and he owned a residence with a separate small courtyard, which his colleagues envied and congratulated.

Amon didn't care. All he expected was what Gabriel said, and the Virgin would take the time to summon him. He really wanted to see Maria, and he hadn't even had a chance to see her up close in six months.

……

On the same evening Amon spoke to the high priest of Wald and others, two people were talking in secret in the distant Assyrian kingdom, in the palace of Ninewa, the capital city. Sitting in the middle is King Sinah of Assyria, sitting beside Lord Alpha, the Prime Minister of the Assyrian kingdom.

The Chancellor is in his sixties. His body is obviously a little blessed. Sitting there leaning forward, his belly tightened his waist clothes tightly. He said with concern: "Your Majesty, counting the time, the queen and the master have been stabbing the Virgin in the dream for three days, but no news has come back. ”

Assyrian King Sinah was less than forty years old, physically fit and bright, his eyelids were deep and his nostrils were slightly curved, his appearance was very dignified and he dared not look at him. "I know very well how much Queen Semir can do, no one would have thought of an assassination, if he wanted to escape after a blow, it would be fine. And the wise master, Faustus, helps, and that's even more so. Mengfei thought it was a long way from here, and it was normal that the message could not be sent back in just three days. We just had to wait. ”

Prime Minister Alpha added: "If His Majesty has this idea again, he must think twice before proceeding. You can't believe you sent two people so important to the kingdom to risk it. The elder did not expect that you would order Her Majesty to be an assassin! ”

Sinah laughed again: "Actually, it was the idea of Faust, the wise man, who asked me to do it, and I gave the order in the name of the king before the queen could do it herself. The Faust Germans are deeply ambitious, and whether or not they succeed in assassinating the Virgin, the three countries will certainly be in the best interest of our Assyrian nation for a while. ”

Alpha asked somewhat puzzled, “Three Kingdoms? Did His Majesty say Equus, Hattie, Baron? ”

Sinah laughed proudly: "Yeah, stabbing the Virgin in public at the Blessing Ceremony is tantamount to declaring war on the Ecumenical Empire! How could Egyptian Pharaoh Racis II, arrogant and ambitious, give up such a great opportunity to wage war? ”

Alpha: “To whom will he declare war? ”

Sinah slapped the armrest of the chair: "Of course we will not declare war on Assyria. The real conflict with Egyptian is Hati, who is gradually disengaging from his destiny to submit to the Egyptian Empire. ”

Alpha: “So why Baron? ”

The Assyrian King blinked: "They cannot catch the assassins, my Lord Prime Minister. Think carefully, who on the mainland can escape safely after assassinating the Virgin, and who has the guts to do so? ”

Alpha suddenly reacted: “Enchidu and Gilgamesh? ”

Sinah's laughter shook the beams of the house, and he laughed hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha your first reaction too, who called them too brilliant, Racis II would never have guessed! ”

Alpha's divine colour is very worrying: "Despite everyone's doubts, why is Enchidu and Gilgamesh doing so? ”
