Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 85: 083, Land of Marduk

Lescott Lee was also worried about the troubles or dangers posed by Amon's status as a magician, which now seems unlikely. Amon acted side by side with Prince Feng Nyu, rescued Princess Xiao Xi from the giant tribe, and climbed into a relationship with two of the most noble figures in the kingdom. Who would blame such a man for no reason? As long as Amon doesn't say so himself, I'm afraid no one will ask him if he's a magician.

This teenager is amazing, everything's catching up!

Medanzo learned about Ammon here in Theo and did not expect Ammon to have such a wonderful experience after breaking up with him. In Medanzo's mind, Amon's place is a god, and even doing something more magical is not inconceivable. Now that he knows where Amon is, he has made a request to Theo, as a bodyguard, to look for Amon as his merchant team returns to Dreamfield, and Theo of course says yes.

Medanzo is an aristocratic samurai of King Baron, and to see Amon willing to bow down as Theo's bodyguard, Theo is somewhat flattered. Medanzo wanted to stay at the inn after he arrived at Dreamfield, but how could the enthusiastic Theo let him go and be sure to stay at home and entertain him.

The two of them have already arrived at Theo's house. Theo News hurried to the front hall and said courtesy as soon as they met: "Lord Amon, you have not been here for a long time, Theo has been waiting for you! ”

Amon quickly stopped: "Don't be polite, I haven't changed anything in front of you, and don't call me my lord. I'm not a nobleman. ”

Theo said: "You are already the captain of the Guard, the captain of the Guard in Isis Temple, in a much more noble position than ordinary nobility!... You haven't come to my house in three months, and Lord Medanzo is here. Be sure to have a few drinks today. ”

Amon had no excuse either, having feasted in Theo's house that day, Theo was intoxicated and dissatisfied with Amon's identity, and he held a glass of wine: “It is long overdue to be an adult on your merits and to be captain of the Temple Guard as a civilian, as if you were the only one. I hear the Virgin takes special care of you, why don't you make such a request? ”

Amon explained with a smile: "How can anything I do, given enough to be a civilian samurai, be promoted to the rank of guard captain of the archives, make more excessive demands? And such demands are contrary to the imperial decrees. ”

Theo grumbled drunkly: “Imperial decrees are so strict that even with more money, it is difficult to become a nobleman. ”

The aristocratic status of the Ecumenical Empire can only be acquired in two ways: hereditary and special gifts. The second way is very difficult and must be a major tribute to the Empire, specially elected by the nobility above the owners of the city and county, and granted by the decree of Pharaoh. This kind of merit is mainly the work of war or praise of all the people. Amon is merely throwing a shuttle gun in the grand pageant. He is loyal to his duties and does not reach that height.

It is not difficult to acquire nobility if anyone can become a great samurai, but there is too little hope for a civilian to learn physics and master the achievements of a great samurai. Theo's grievances were also told to himself that he was a very wealthy businessman, but that merely being wealthy did not change the status of a civilian. He had said that, unfortunately, there was no opportunity to acquire the status of a nobleman and even to offer half of his family's estate.

Amon and Medanzo listened to Theo complain overnight at the banquet until they had a chance to speak alone at night. Medanzo is already a level 5 samurai and magician, and he is saddened by Amon: “The steadfastness of faith, the temptation of the devil, may be difficult to face, when I recover from the pain, life seems to have undergone a transformation, the faith is clearer, and soon passed these tests. Amon, I don't know how to describe my gratitude. You are the god who guided me! ”

Amon was also saddened: "Belief comes from your heart, and I didn't force you to do anything, and there are things I don't want that to happen. In your character, it's really not easy not to promise Princess Xiaoxi anything, so no wonder it passes the Devil's Temptation test. Of course, I'm not saying Princess Xiao Xi is the devil, nor that the title of nobility is the devil, as you should understand. … already have five levels of achievement, have you interrupted your practice over time? ”

Medanzo giggled: "O Amon God, you know my aspirations and pursuits, once to restore my nobility and the glory of my ancestors, but when I became a nobleman again, I realized that what I truly wanted was another way out, to embark on the path you had guided. The training of power on both sides, apart from the interruption of the days with you, has been persistent since then and it has been my life. ”

Amon nodded thoughtfully: “The strength of the two sides of the whole cultivation, it acquires a power, but also a sense of habit, forgetting it but naturally owning it, may be the real pursuit. Medanzo, since you're on this path, I hope you can remember that. ”

……

Medanzo stayed temporarily in Monfis, and Amon gave him a task to buy a mansion in the city as a foothold, as well as a document attesting to his identity, the name of which was Arocho. Of course it is convenient for some of my men to do things, but some things cannot be entrusted to their guards, and Medanzo came at the right time.

Ammon is rich enough, of course, to buy the most suitable place, and on the western side near the edge of the city, Medanzo bought a large mansion, a rugged nobleman's estate. There is not only a front yard backyard, but also a small independent garden with a spacious front hall, even a fountain, and a small private temple in the backyard for the worship of gods and meditation prayers. It seems that many years ago the owner of this estate was also a magician.

Now it's Amon's house, and everything is taken care of by Medanzo, who hires servants, like the doorman, who acts as the housekeeper, and the real Lord Arrocchio, who rarely shows up and is said to be busy.

Amon also brought Schrödinger into the house. Medanzo knew the cat and instructed everyone to respect Schrödinger, a cat provided by the Great Master. Schrödinger, however, did not like to live here. Most of the time, he was still hanging out with the idle cats outside Isis Temple. He couldn't even find them, so he had to wait for them to come out.

In order for Schrödinger to like it, Amon ordered the idols served by the temple in the backyard to be replaced by the Ecucat god Best, with the best wine and fresh, delicious roasted fish every day, whether Schrödinger comes or not, in fact, prepared for it. In this way, Schrödinger would arrive every day, eat and drink before slipping away, as if he was very satisfied with the arrangement.

Maria had advised Amon to remain in the Temple of Isis and openly became a glorious samurai, primarily to protect him. In fact, the Temple of Isis lacked a samurai at all. Maria had also promised not to prevent him from returning to his hometown and, if Amon had something to do, would send him on a mission to the town of Turk.

Amon was not in a hurry when the agreed time of year was several months away and Medanzo himself arrived at Dreamfield. Both theological and physical arts, the deeper and more complex the upward training, the first failure Amon has encountered since practice. He wanted to process the serpentine muscle obtained on the Baron River into a divine artifact, which turned out to be uncontrolled, watching as the precious serpentine muscle was broken in pieces in his hands and damaged to useless waste.

But he also had another unexpected gain, from Schrödinger's point of view.

Amon buys a private home in the city, there's nothing surprising about it, as captain of the guard and salary, and it's not normal to buy another place in the city. Amon only left the temple when it was not his turn. Once he came behind the mansion and walked into the little temple dedicated to the Goddess of Best and found Schrödinger drinking and eating meat on the divine case.

Amon laughed and stood there quietly watching, without disturbing the cat's pleasure. Without turning back, Schrödinger knew that Amon was coming. After eating and drinking enough, he jumped off the case, stretched out his paws and made a wave like a man, and then ran into the yard.

By the time Amon went out, Schrödinger was gone, but he left two lines of words on the ground, which were not divine! This is also the first time this cat has written worldly words, and Amon is somewhat surprised. Something written on the ground must not be understood by someone else, but Amon recognized it at a glance. It is the archival book number of Isis Temple.

Looks like the cat is in a good mood, and after drinking, point Amon out to the archives to find two papers. What exactly does Schrödinger want to point out to him? Amon is curious, too.

Although he is the captain of the archive guard, he is not free to read the collections, and only arrange for himself to be alone in the corresponding reading room until no one has a chance to take them out and take a closer look at them. The first document was quickly found in a high-specification library on the bottom of a shelf protected by a detection magic array. Fortunately, Amon's detective magic has been cultivated to the highest order, and the paperwork can be taken out without warning.

He was also surprised and surprised by the title of the instrument, "The Land of Marduk", which contained the legend about the town of Turk mentioned by Maria. Amon spent most of his six months searching for it, and if it wasn't for Schrödinger's pointer, he didn't know when to find it. It seemed that the cat also understood what he was thinking.

Ammonwan did not expect that the name of the town of Duke was related to the Lord God of the Kingdom of Baron, Marduk, and that it was the famous place of the First World War of Marduk, the battle of the gods of Anunaki for a long time.

In Anunaki mythology, the first gods were the male god Apsu and the female goddess Amat, who gave birth to the male god Raham and the goddess Raham, and the angels Raham and Raham gave birth to Anu. The Anunaki system is named after Anu, the god of the heavens. He is said to be the highest god. What is this about? It involves a very long war.

Anu, the angel, had two sons, Enrique and Aea, the legendary god of wisdom, and he had a son named Marduk. Enrir gave birth to the moon gods Nanar and Utu, and the moon god Nanar gave birth to the Moon called Venus Goddess. The mythological legend is that these gods do not necessarily symbolize the sun, the moon and the stars, but their human name.

Goddess Mu Yun said to Amon herself that the relationship between the gods is not the kind of kinship that mortals understand, and there is not much explanation as to what happened. But in the classic legend that Amon saw, it was still documented by kinship.

The gods are said to have created a contradiction in the division of the divine domain, and Aea attacked and killed Apsou. In retaliation, Amat created nine monsters, the Nine-headed Monster Snake, the Swamp Giant Snake, the Scorpion Dragon, the Sea Monster, the Giant Lion, the Three Bad Dogs, the Poisonous Scorpion, the Enchanted Mermaid, and the Wild Bull, and handed over to his other son, Jingut, the Holy Book of Heaven, which represented the supreme divine status at the time of the creation of the Divine System, to avenge him.

The gods split into two factions, one headed by Amat, commanded by Kingut, the other by Enrique and commanded by Marduk. A battle of gods broke out in the heart of the Heavenly Pivot continent, when it was not known how many gods had fallen. As a result, Marduk triumphed, killing Amat and Jingut, and seizing the Book of Heaven Jane, so the battlefield was also known as "Marduk's Land”.

But there was friction on the part of the winner, and Enrir, as the leader of the gods, was supposed to get the Book of Heaven, and Marduk gave it directly to Anu, the god, so that Enrir did not become the supreme god of Anunaki. Anu and Eua did not intend to continue to compete with the gods and henceforth retreat into the legendary kingdom of Anunaki.

A conflict erupted between the two great gods Enrique and Marduk, resulting in the division of the divine domain, while the rest of the gods were attached to the divine domain of the two great gods, enjoying their own divine domain according to the magnitude of their power in the battle of the gods.

Legendary meteorite spirits whose blood condenses into flame elves, muscles condense into the eyes of the earth, breath condenses into the glamour of the wind, sweat condenses into the blue heart, and bones crystallize into ordinary divine stones. And the tears of the gods are solidified by the tears of the gods. The town of Duke is not the only place on the continent where the sacred stones are produced, but the yields are high and naturally related to this ancient war.

When the two great gods divided the divine domain, the land of Marduk was divided on the edge of the divine domain of Enrique, which Enrique did not want to have in its own divine domain the name of Marduk, and later the place where people lived was simply called the town of Duke. There is no record of the legend in the local temple, but the story is documented far away in the paperwork in the Temple of Isis in Ecu.

The land of Marduk was once very rich, but the battle of the gods became desolate. This is the land where the gods fell, where the gods disliked them and where they banished them. It is a punishment that the miners who lived there for generations have been mining sacred stones for the God-fearing people and have not been allowed to leave their homes, allegedly because their ancestors supported Amat and Jingut in the war of the gods.

Legends are just legends, and it's not clear whether it's true or not. Amon grew up in Duke, knowing that the patron saint there was Mu Yun. How did Goddess Mu Yun become the guardian goddess of Duke Town, which was not mentioned in this document, but two other remarkable things were mentioned.

One is that miners in Duke Town are cursed by spirits and have been heavily labored for generations. Duke Town's mineral craftsmanship is also taught by the gods and contains awakening rituals of power, even the most basic divine techniques, similar to two awakenings of power, without a real breakthrough. The purpose of the spirits passing on the craftsmanship is simply to have them labor for generations until they are redeemed and forgiven.

No wonder Maria once said that Amon was a miner from Duke Town and that it was not difficult to wake up through a second awakening ceremony of power. She is the patron saint of Isis Goddess and is not very concerned with the legend of Anunaki. The legend is true and false, but the mining technique in Duke Town is true. The last step in the mining of the sacred stones is done by the magician, only in Duke Town by the miners.

The second is the prophecy that has been passed down in some years, when the land of Marduk returns to prosperity, a new god of the gods will emerge. There is also a statement that a new war of gods will erupt. These legends are untested, but in the main temple of Hati and the Kingdom of Assyria there is a clear record of Enrique's message that he will make it a fertile earth again, and that he will become a true god of the gods.

After reading the mythology documented in this document, Amon took a breath of cold air, which should have been a long time ago. No one knows if it's true or false, but Tucker Town is really a very special place. He could not ask about the matter between the spirits, but the area of Duke Town was about to become a fertile soil, and if he wanted to guide the people back home, the road would be filled with thorns and sweat.

And then he thought of another thing, looking for a way to become a god, a task entrusted to him by an old madman, is it also related to this ancient legend and prophecy? Bell was here once, and he had a connection with the old lunatic, who should also know what was in the book.

Amon turned to the last page of the paperwork and proved his speculation. Someone left two marks in the blank, very blurred, and the lines looked exactly like the opposite of what the old lunatic had given him.

That sign was once Bell's. Why would he leave his mark here? Is it waiting for someone later to read this volume, and what is it suggesting? Amon subconsciously wanted to pull out the sign and compare it, and then thought that the sign didn't come with it.

It is not difficult to find the first volume of the instrument, but it is not easy to find the second volume of the instrument to which Schrödinger refers. According to the numbered index, the volume was locked in a cabinet with many important books, the keys were held by the senior priest in charge of the archives, and the cabinets and locks were magically held. Amon could not open it quietly without leaving a trace, but had to wait for the opportunity.

Amon had not yet waited for the right opportunity, but had first waited for the call of the Virgin. It is still Gabriel's personal message, and the place where the Virgin summoned him was a study for the daily processing of documents, very spacious, like a small palace. The Virgin gave him enough courtesy to remain seated, far from the seat, with a blanket in front of him, and Amon could only salute the blanket and sit down and speak.

Maria sat behind the desk, it was a private meeting, there was no one else in the study, and Maria had let Gabriel go. Distance doesn't affect anything, and Amon can still see her clearly, even if the curvature of each lash is incredibly clear.

According to common sense, Maria should first praise Amon for what he did in the Blessing Bible, but she didn't say so, just looking at him and asking, "Amon, are you okay? ”
