Pivot of the Sky

The Assyrian King shrugged: “I don't know why, but they have to ask themselves, and the most arrogant people on the continent, I'm afraid, will not be able to stand this suspicion and questioning, and then there will be a lively look. Queen Semir, though not make-up as Enlightenment Capital, was posing as Enlightenment Capital. She used bows and arrows made of snake bars and teeth, and everyone on the continent knew that Enchidu and Gilgamesh had killed Humbaba, got snake bars and teeth, and the great magician of Monfist would not recognize this weapon. ”

Alpha's heart palpitated: “To offend these two is not a good thing, be sure to keep it strictly confidential. ”

Sinah snorted coldly: "It's just two people, and I'm not necessarily afraid of them! Even if the Kingdom of Baron wanted to declare war on me, with plateau blockade, and Assyria was easy to defend, I would like to try and build a career opportunity!... but you're right, this is a secret of the kingdom, and only you and I can know it, and it can't be revealed to anyone. ”

The Chancellor reached out and quietly wiped his forehead, whispering: “Your Majesty, I still think your decision is too risky. The next time something as important as this, it is also well planned to say hello in advance. ”

The king waved, “Alpha, it's not that I don't trust you, you're the most loyal minister in the Assyrian kingdom. But there is absolutely no possibility of divulging information about stabbing the Virgin in Dreamfield City. If the other side is prepared, the Queen and the Master will have difficulty getting away, so I did not tell anyone. ”

Alpha sighed slightly: "Your Majesty's decision may be right. What will you do in the evening when you summon the elders to secretly consult? What can the elders do for you and for the kingdom? ”

King Sinah also sighed a long time: "My Lord Chancellor, you have much to do, and the integrated army stands ready to cross the plateau and build a city state and expand the borders of the kingdom on the new fertile soil. I have a burning ambition, but the Assyrian plateau not only protects our land, but also imprisons my ambition. My kingdom has a narrow marginal land, and our warriors, who fought heroically, remained outside the plateau.

To the west of the river will emerge a thousand years of fertile soil. This is my opportunity to expand the country and build a thousand ancient works. I will be the king revered by the Assyrian people all the time. But the other three countries will not give up their rivalry. Only by provoking their dispute will Assyrian militants have the opportunity to overtake the plateau and occupy it first. ”

In the middle of the conversation, someone outside the palace whispered: “Her Majesty the Queen is back, Lord Teacher of the State to see you! ”

Until the voice fell, a woman had come in, dressed in tights, long black hair tied without jewellery, Samir, Queen of the Assyrian kingdom. If Amon were here, he'd be surprised, because she was the assassin who stabbed Maria in the dream. I never thought she was a woman!

Samir has a small figure and a more prominent figure curve in his tight suit, so that his delicate body seems to contain a dynamic tension, as if it were a perfect combination of a soft shape and a rigid temperament. Her five officers are soft, her eyes are dark brown, and she has a mysterious charm.

King Sinah stood up from his seat and opened his arms to face him: "My dear Queen, you are back so soon. Is everything all right? ”

Samir gave her husband a hug and then nodded one step back: "The assassination of the Virgin did not succeed, but it did not matter, His Majesty's plan should be smooth. It's just that the Virgin's calm is beyond my imagination that she may be the youngest great magician on the continent today.” Then he turned to the head of the Alpha: “The Chancellor is here, I think the king must have something to discuss with you. I am tired, go rest first. ”

Alpha hurried up to salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Samir said to the king: "The Master of the State is right outside the door. Ask him about it.” She walked into the back of the house after she had spoken, her attitude was somewhat arrogant, and she did not speak to the king in a respectful manner.

The queen left, and the Chancellor lowered his voice to the king: "Your Majesty, the queen's face is not very good, she seems angry. The Queen would certainly not be pleased if you sent her so far away to carry out a dangerous assassination mission. You haven't seen each other for many days. She hasn't rushed back to Nineveh all night. Why don't you talk to her tomorrow? Let the queen be comforted and worried tonight. ”

Sinah's divine colour was somewhat awkward, and she coughed up: “The queen is tired and needs a good rest. I am the king. When the state is at the forefront, the master of the state is still waiting outside. Invite him to come in for a deliberation. ”

The identity of the monarchs is different and Queen Samir can enter the inner house directly, while Faust can enter only after being informed. The archdeacon is 50 years old and looks like an old man aged 70 or 80 years. His curly hair is completely gray and his face is full of wrinkles. The three days and three nights of uninterrupted journey were indeed exhausting, on the other hand, his appearance was like this, completely different from that of the general great magician.

Faust, the chief elder of the Assyrian Academy of Theology, is said to be the most knowledgeable man in the entire kingdom, able to recite all the books in the Assyrian Academy of Theology and the Temple of the Assyrian Lord, and to repeat them accurately on every page and paragraph. His desire for knowledge exceeds that of all people in the kingdom. His greatest passion is to collect all kinds of books. Any precious book that he has not read falls into his hands, and he will surely read it over and over again to keep in mind before letting go.

Faust once said, "Knowledge is pursuit, and I seek power to change the world and life.” He was not an official position in Assyria, as they called him in Assyria, but in the end everyone, including the King, called him. As a national master, it has become a distinguished title dedicated to Faust.

The King gave Faust a seat and asked kindly: "Dear Master Master of the Nation, how many flying reels have you used so quickly? There is no need for such a painstaking journey, as long as you return safely. ”

Faust smiled bitterly: “Her Majesty only wanted to return to King's Landing as soon as possible, but I used all the flying scrolls despite the shadow shuttle. ”

Alpha was surprised: "All? So these three days and nights have been flying without stopping for a moment, no wonder you came back so fast and you looked so tired. ”

Faust: “Being able to build a vocation for the kingdom is nothing but exhaustion. The plan is for me to give it to His Majesty, and of course I should do it myself. The assassination of the Virgin did not succeed, but the purpose should have been achieved, and we are now ready to act quietly when we are in contention. ”

King Sinah: “I was just discussing this with the Chancellor. To get over the plateau and prepare for the establishment of a city state, it is time to proceed now and not to alarm others. A thousand miles of fertile land will appear in the centre of the continent. Does the Master of State think that several other countries will understand this? ”

Faust sighed softly: “I have a feeling that there will of course be high perceptions in other kingdoms, even if they did not react at that time, but more than two years later, there is already a large swamp of fertile soil exposed to the water, and everyone will realize what will happen. And we're thinking, wouldn't the gods have noticed all this? The people will surely be guided. ”

“I studied the terrain there and initially exposed large tracts of fertile soil on which the marshes could rest, close to the foot of the Assyrian plateau, while the remaining three sides were still surrounded by the marshes," Alpha said. Flipping over the plateau is our obstacle, but the swamp will block the other three countries, so the Assyrian kingdom still prevails geographically. ”

Faust took out his staff and a shadow appeared in the void. It was the terrain around the town of Duke, pointing to the inland lake at the northernmost part of the desert: “A large group of people were temporarily unable to enter the marshland, but that lake was a good place to build a camp, and the battle would take place ahead of time. Only when there was a war between them would we have a chance to sneak into the south of the Assyrian plateau to steady our feet. As the area of fertile soil exposed to water expands, so does the area we occupy until it reaches the entire territory, when it is possible to base itself on undefeated ground. ”

The king frowned as if thinking, and asked: "The Ecumenical Empire is the most ambitious and powerful. It has long wanted to cross the desert to subjugate all kingdoms, and the most wanted is such a territory. The assassination of the Virgin is only an excuse to detonate the war between the two countries, which is taking place sooner or later in the territory of the Kingdom of Hati. According to the Master of the Nation, when should it be? ”

Faust shrugged: "The war of nations is not easy, the supply lines of both countries are long, even if there is a heart to start a war, there is much to be prepared for, and the large-scale war will take at least a year and a half to load. … Chancellor, are we ready for this time? ”

"It's not easy for a large group of men and horses to cross the plateau with supplies, the Giant Battle Formation is best suited to serve as a front, and the land that initially exposes the marshes will not be large and will be divided into many isolated islands. We unfold along the foothills of the Assyrian plateau, moving forward slowly, so long as there is no other interference, the preparations are fine. ”

……

Amon, who is far from Dreamfield City, may not have thought that his future journey to lead his people home will be fraught with such dangerous obstacles. Princess Xiao Xi has intervened to guide the Titans of the Plateau tribe into the marshes in search of an isolated island that is exposed to the water to form a tribe. The Assyrian King, with greater ambition, wanted to occupy the entire land of a thousand livos, open new frontiers south of the Assyrian plateau, and send men to assassinate the Virgin in order to achieve that end and even further exacerbate the contradictions among nations.

Amon had a peaceful life, and he was now the captain of the guard, with dozens of samurai under his command, and two slaves dedicated to living and living. Amon is not used to letting slaves work around him. Usually it's just letting them clean the yard. If they need anything, give them money to go out and buy it. Life is convenient.

The Guard has routine exercises. Amon is no worse than any man in fighting skills, but warfare between samurai, warfare between samurai and theologian, skill in the use of various weapons, the role played by various equipment on different occasions, etc. are all academic and Amon has learned a lot. His captain seemed serious, but compared to the most generous man, he was happy like a child.

As the captain of the Guard, you will have more opportunities to contact those Divine Books alone, which coincidentally can be verified by the high-end divine arts to be practiced. In the Temple of Isis it is inconvenient to display the Divine Arts and can only quietly practice the power rules of the various Divine Arts in private.

But some of the magic needed to be done to verify the cultivation results, so Amon would sometimes walk out of the temple and come back overnight. People thought the captain of the guard was going to relax. In fact, he was going to look for nowhere to prove the effect of high-end magic. This kind of torment made Amon feel uncomfortable himself and began to think about buying a house in Monfis.

Needless to say, there has to be at least one place to settle Schrödinger. When the cat arrived in Ecu, he did not live in Isis Temple with Amon.

The main god of the Temple of Isis is the Goddess of Isis, but almost all the gods of the Egyptian god system are also offered in the various temples, among them the Goddess of Best, the servant of Osiris. The statue of Best is very distinctive, and the stubborn young girl has a cat's head on her body, spreading long hair and looking like a lion.

Because the Best Goddess is the image of a cat, a cat is a respected and spoiled animal in Equus. There are also more realistic traditional reasons why cats are loved by people. A long time ago, Ecu was often affected by rats. Some people introduced domesticated cats and became good helpers in guarding the grain warehouse. They save a lot of food each year for the residents of Ecu. Of course, they will be appreciated.

Isis Temple is surrounded by many cats, neither wildcats nor domestic cats, lying lazy under the walls or in the square all day. People passing by love to feed cats, and the priests in the temple also place cat food everyday in fixed places, symbolizing sacrifice to the children of Goddess Best.

When Amon first entered the Temple of Isis, Schrödinger jumped out of his pocket and slipped away. He then mixed into all kinds of cats in the square, and couldn't catch up. Schrödinger was familiar with the place, just as he came home, no wonder it was “stolen” by Bell from Dreamfield, and what he asked Amon to do was - "take me back to Ecu”.

Amon never knew what Schrödinger was thinking or doing. The cat was guiding him, and Schrödinger couldn't care less where he was going. Living in the Temple of Isis, he couldn't see the cat. It was a strange thought. After all, at the loneliest time of his life, there was a scary cat with a large shelf that helped him through difficult times. Whatever Schrödinger wanted to use him for or for whatever other purpose, Amon was grateful.

Amon also couldn't see Schrödinger. Every time he went out on his own, a cat suddenly came out outside the temple and rubbed his leg. His eyes were Schrödinger at first glance. Amon searched for a secluded spot to experiment with the magic, and Schrödinger would follow him and watch, squatting there with a paw on his cheek, twisting his head, looking excited.

Every time I see Schrödinger, Amon buys the best wine. Later he developed a habit of simply buying good wine on his body, and his guards saw the captain like good wine and often gave it to him.

Amon doesn't know where Schrödinger usually hangs out, but the longer the cat returns to Ecu, the prettier and more spiritual it gets. Its shape is smooth and healthy, the fur color becomes smooth and bright, it jumps fast and agile, and in the open wilderness, Amon must do everything possible to keep up, obviously completely revitalized. Had it not been for the pattern, Amon would hardly have recognized the cat, but Schrödinger had a distinct feature, which was that he could not detect the sensation of the divine arts.

Schrödinger's pie was still dragging, looking at Amon as if he were a high king looking at his people, but his attitude was a lot closer. Every time he sees Amon, he's obviously happy, otherwise he won't come out and rub his leg, which was previously unimaginable.

In addition to occasionally seeking opportunities to go out with Schrödinger's "ghost meeting”, Amon is also awaiting Maria's summons, but the Virgin is busy during this time. She has heard that she left for the capital of Ecu to discuss important matters with His Majesty the Pharaoh, possibly in connection with the last assassination. A month later, the Virgin returned to Dreamfield, and Gabriel was the first one to come to Amon.

Gabriel called Amon to speak alone in a samurai hall, a place where the great samurai normally handled his business. Embossed on the left and right walls are images of successive great samurai, portraying scenes of battle.

Gabrielle asked him to sit down: "Amon, the Virgin has already instructed me to give you time to point out your physical training, but the previous time was too busy to find you until today. ”

Amon hastily said: "I know you are busy. A while ago, Her Holiness was about to break through the seventh level of achievement and prepare for the Isis Blessing Festival. There was another assassination in the festival. This little matter of my physical training bothered Gabriel. ”

Gabriel looked at him and suddenly asked, "Amon, how old are you? ”

Amon replied somewhat embarrassed: "Almost seventeen years old. ”

Gabriel sighed softly: "No wonder, at this age, your accomplishments exceed mine. As long as you do not go the wrong way, you will surely become a great samurai, the Virgin is right. If I'm not mistaken, you were given a chance to break through the Ronnie River experience, grow strength in recovery and become a Lv6 samurai after coming to Dreamfield. ”

Amon nodded, “Yes, you're absolutely right. ”

Gabriel added: "Everyone's experiences are different, but some of them are similar, thinking that when I broke through from level five to level six, I was also in a battle to carry out my mission. I might have died if it weren't for the presence of the Great Wald Magician, but when I came back, my strength grew beyond the limits of the past, as if I had experienced a rebirth. ”

Amon even nodded: “I feel the same way, it is a difficult experience, and you are now a great samurai, if you can point me to something, I wonder what you would experience if you broke through from level 6 to level 7? ”

Gabriel smiled slightly: “Nobody can make this clear, tell you the truth, I actually forgot. ”

Amon was surprised: "Forget about it, can you forget about this? ”
