Pivot of the Sky

Amon pushed his hand away and shook his head: "No, it wasn't an accident. I took the whip for the miner. Lord John, is this the Temple Envoy you were talking about? This season's magic stones have crossed. I didn't order these miners to extract more. What did you mean by that? Did I ask you to wield a whip to force these people? If that's the case, you should really smoke that whip on me. ”

Amon dismantled the counter in person and there were so many people around him. John was embarrassed by the look of God, but after all, he wounded the envoy and had to pay tribute: “Mr. Amon, please don't blame me, I'm just mad at these dirty miners. Just now, this man damaged precious mineral nuclei that he had worked so hard to exploit. As for your arrival, I just wanted to remind them of their more serious work. ”

Amon's face is still calm, and he says in a reprehensible tone: "Why are you so furious when mining a sacred stone does not guarantee 100% success and it is normal to occasionally destroy a nuclear mine?" ”

John waved a finger around the miners: “I'm afraid you don't know, Mr. Special Envoy, that these are Pharaoh's servants from Duke Town in the Kingdom of Hattie, a place disgusted by the gods, who are cursed and banished by the gods! Their people, their ancestors, were filthy miners enslaved by spirits for generations. It would be their honor to whip and whip myself in my noble capacity! ”

Amon's face had gradually calmed down, but when he heard this, his face suddenly rose again, his eyes were gloomy and horrible, and he stared coldly at John and said: “In that case, it is also an honor for me to whip you! ”

John's straight hair, stared at by Amon, was a little out of his mind, and he said, "Mr. Amon, you are not a nobleman, but you are also a visiting messenger to the temple. How can you compare yourself to these abandoned people in Tucson? ”

Amon: “Lord John, you have lost your mind. I am a Class Six warrior. How can a skinny miner bear such a strong muscle and wounded by your whip? If you hit him, you could have killed him! They are not sinners, but craftsmen who mine sacred stones for the temple. Their skill should be fully respected. What qualifies you to say what you just said? ”

Maria sent Amon to visit Ho Leishan with great intent. The descendants of Duke Town were actually here. He did not know what was going on, but John's words provoked anger that Amon could not contain. John was not only abusing these miners, but also insulting Ammon's people and ancestors, including his deceased father, who, after all, was just a child under the age of eighteen, how could he bear it?

John did not know the details of Amon. Amon's move appeared to be deliberately provoking and looking for trouble in front of everyone. At this time, he was also provoked. Coldly snorted: “Mr. Amon, you deliberately stood under my whip. I'm also a Class Six samurai. Can't you catch my whip and blame me for hurting you? How did you get hurt? Why didn't you learn martial arts better? And what you just said, very disrespectful to an imperial aristocrat! ”

The air was full of gunpowder, and the followers didn't know how to persuade them. You all know John's temper, impulse, mania, anger, and once he starts a fire, he's very rough on his subordinates and on the servants of the mine. These stone-mining craftsmen serve in Pharaoh and are a valuable resource, and Pharaoh has orders not to harm them at will.

But for some reason today, Captain John got angry and drew a whip like that. If it had serious consequences for Moses, he would have been punished for not paying for his life. He had a similar problem in the city of Mengfei, so he was put out on Mount He, but the old habit was difficult to change.

Ammon was not aware of the situation, and his heart was filled with anger. He turned to take the hammer from Moses and slowly walked around the hall, waving it in front of every workstation. He turned around and everyone stared at him because the envoy opened all the cores on the anvil.

Each time the hammer hits down, the hard shell of the ore core turns into a light white fine sand leak, and more than thirty stones appear intact in front of people. What a magical technique! Amon didn't use his staff like a magician, and he had a hammer in his hand. Without explaining anything, you have implicitly guessed the whereabouts of this envoy, even the miners were shocked.

A moment later, Kung Fu developed more than thirty magic stones, and none of them were damaged, and it was quite hard for Amon. He walked back to John, and his forehead was sweating, and the blues were beating on the arm of the hammer, and he coldly said, “Did you see that? I'm also a miner from Duke Town! I'd like to ask, what qualifies you to say something like that, insult a skill like that?

You insulted my people, my ancestors, my late father, my esteemed teacher. Noble samurai, I now formally request a duel with you. According to the decree of the Egyptian Empire, this must be given your permission, and my demand for a duel as a civilian to the nobility bears the consequences of injury. Lord John, you just asked me why I didn't learn martial arts better, so please agree to this request and let us know what really is martial arts. ”

The decree of the Ecumenical Empire provides for a duel between the samurai, which can be requested in certain circumstances, as Amon said, with a notary in charge of the duel, which the other side can refuse. Fighting between civilians and nobles, even if the nobility promises, is punishable if civilians harm the nobility. Such a decree seemed unfair, but the status between nobility and the civilian population was itself unequal, and it provided at least one way to avenge the consequences.

Amon demanded a duel, and his earlier attempts to exploit more than thirty stones in a row had wiped out much of the anger in his heart, and now looking at John's face was more of a sneer. How could John refuse in his temper? He was utterly pissed off by Amon. “We'll fight outside, you can pick the weapons you're good at! ”

Amon shook his head: “I don't need any weapons, I just need this hammer.” His contemptuous tone made John furious.

They walked shoulder to shoulder and couldn't stop their followers. That's when Blanca rushed in with her staff, holding one hand and persuading him, "Why are you fighting for these lowly miners, you two samurai? Stop it, whoever gets hurt will be a disaster! ”

When Blanca heard that Amon had been injured unexpectedly, he rushed over immediately and did not understand the specific situation. He saw the two men fighting in front of the door and hurried forward to dissuade them. John was also polite to his superiors and replied with his face: “As a noble samurai, I have agreed to Mr. Amon's request for a duel, and I cannot regret it unless he offers to withdraw from it. ”

Ammon pushed Blanca straight away: "My lord, I grew up in Duke town, what you call a lowlife miner. He insulted my people and ancestors, so I made a duel request. Rest assured, though, that I will only defeat him and not hurt him in the duel. You came just in time to be a duel notary. ”

Blanca stomped her foot and couldn't help but smoke her own mouth. She rushed in too fast to ask for clarification. Didn't you just persuade her to put oil on the fire? By the time he returned to God, the two samurai had stood face-to-face in the open space outside the door, and John had taken out a heavy sword, and Amon held the hammer in his hand, and the duel was unstoppable.

Blanca had to stand in front of the door as a notary, holding the staff ready to perform the magic, and if the lives of either side of the duel were in danger, he would stop it immediately and avoid the irreparable consequences. At the same time, he was still anxious to figure out how to keep this matter down, and settle it quietly in He Leishan, do not pass it to Isis Temple.

He was wondering, and suddenly he heard Amon rushing, “Lord Blanca, why haven't you started? ”

Blanca's reaction was that she had been stunned and helplessly lifted her staff to send a signal that the duel would begin. John's figure is like a string of arrows rushing towards Amon a dozen steps away, raising a wide sword in his hand, and his sword is glowing. Instead of chopping him directly with a sword tip or blade, he slapped him on the shoulder of Amon's hammer with a sword ridge.

This man is not completely brainless. He's a duel, but he just wants to teach Amon a lesson. This sword is much more fierce than that whip just now, and its speed and power are at their limits. The surrounding samurai shouted and saw that John had just stood a dozen steps away, and the blinking sword of kung fu caught Amon's shoulder.

The exclamation then turned into a shout, which was masked by a loud bang of long sounds. Amon stood still, but saw John's sword broken in two and flew out, and a single knee pounced in front of Amon, and the hammer rested on his shoulder. Simply shaking his wrist would smash John's head like a knock on the core, but Amon didn't kill him.

Only a handful of people saw what had just happened, and John was faster, and Amon was faster, faster than John had reacted. As John rushed forward, the moment the sword had not yet fallen, the hammer in Amon's hand turned into a shadow that struck his left knee. John knelt on his knees as soon as his legs were soft, and his sword had slipped.

In a short time, Amon wielded a second hammer, stuck the sword over his shoulder, emitted a loud ear sound, and the hard raw shattered sword had no light on it. John couldn't hold his sword, his heavy broad sword flew out of hand, trembling in the air, flying halfway into the sky and suddenly breaking into two pieces. Amon flipped his wrist and the hammer rested on John's shoulder.

Blanca says, "The duel is over, Amonsen! ”

John on his knees is sweating heavily, and no one knows better than him the horror of what Amon just did. When he just rushed over, he clearly saw Amon's hammer swing, although he wanted to be in the right position, but the action couldn't react at all. When the hammer hit his knee, he felt cold and thought the leg was about to be broken. It felt strange, not painful, but a strange shock that shook the crisps all over her body, her legs kneeling softly.

Immediately after that, Amon waved his hammer upwards over the wide sword, and the sword came with a huge impact, and a severe tremor prevented John from holding the sword at all. The power of the impact continued after the sword flew out, breaking a heavy wide sword in mid-air. John had the feeling that the hammer in his hand, whether it was trying to kill him or injure him, was just a matter of thought, and that Blanca couldn't stop it.

John was still full of anger, and for a moment he had been poured cold from the inside out, listening only to Amon not slowly said: “This is the mining technique of Duke Town, it can open the core of the mine without destroying the stones, and it can break your power but leave you intact. God bless me with good control and not hurt you. Lord John, do you admit you lost, or do you want to do it again? ”

Blanca has come: "No need to come again, I'm a notary, this duel, John has lost! ”

John on his knees suddenly bowed his head and prayed, “Mr. Ammon, I'm losing!” It is a disgrace not to admit defeat, and although he is also a Class Six samurai, he does not even have the strength to fight back in front of Ammon. Although the samurai has a grumpy personality, impulses come and go quickly, and at this moment he has no temper at all.

Looking as though Amon's anger had not subsided, he turned to Blanca and said: "Since this samurai admitted to losing in the duel, he should confess and apologize for his words and actions. ”

Blanca was trying to persuade John to bow his head, unexpectedly nodding himself: “I apologize, take back what I just said, apologize to all those whom I insulted, and make amends for my actions.... Somebody give me that whip and I'll give it back to you! ”

A subordinate brought the whip, and John handed it to Amon. Blanca looked a little ugly, wanted to say something, but stepped aside. John stepped back and turned around. Amon was welcome. He took the whip and shook his wrist and took it out. John was not wearing armor, the whip was pumped on his back, his clothes split open, leaving a blood mark on his skin. This whip is not lightweight, just like the whip Amon received.

Blanca said, “All right, two samurai, it's all worked out. If you don't fight, you can be friends! ”

Amon threw the whip: “Sir, can you find a place to talk to me alone? I have something to ask you privately. ”

……

After the duel, calm down and finally calm down. Amon and John were drugged on their backs, but they were only skin injuries, without any hindrance, and Blanca performed therapeutic surgery on them.

As the chief of the mountain, Blanca wanted to be a pacifist and ordered someone to put on a delicious drink to laugh and talk to Amon. As for John, who was his subordinate, of course, the tone had to be harsher, and he scolded: "John, you have to thank Mr. Amon, the miners are Pharaoh's servants, who have orders not to be harmed at will. How come you forgot everything when you got so upset? The young man named Moses is their leader. If you really kill him, you will only be punished severely. Amon actually saved you today! ”

Amon interrupted him and said, "Lord Blanca, I am also a miner from Duke Town. It's just strange. How did the descendants of Duke Town get to Mount Ho? ”

Blanca answered embarrassingly: "I don't know. They were sent by the guards of Cape Town State, and Pharaoh ordered them. … Please forgive me, I don't know where you come from, I'm just curious, how could Mr. Amon also come from Duke Town? ”

Amon replied softly, "Haven't you heard? The tears of the gods embedded on the Virgin's staff were mined by my own hands. I was banished because I had been punished for personally dedicating the tears of the gods to the Isis Goddess, thus avoiding a catastrophic flood. ”

John was surprised: "Did you extract the tears of the gods? No wonder Her Holiness has a special grace, and the mining skill of Duke Town is truly underestimated, it has defeated me, please forgive my recklessness. ”

Amon can bring the matter to a successful conclusion with two more beautiful words, but he shook his head in silence: "Your recklessness and impulse, Lord John, is a disaster that not only unjustifiably harms those miners against Pharaoh's orders, but also another dangerous tendency, which means more serious crimes, don't you realize? ”

John was shocked and a little confused and asked: "Please make it clear to Mr. Amon, what happened to me? ”

Amon asked coldly, "Which god do you believe in? ”

John simply replied: “Of course it was Horus, the great patron saint of the Ecumenical Empire, and Isis the Holy Mother…” He said a series of gods.

When he had finished, Amon did not hesitate to ask: "What gods are you referring to today when you say that the miners are people cursed and banished by the gods? ”

John stunned, but Blanca realized it was bad and answered with a stiff scalp: "It was just an unintentional statement, and Mr. Amon did not have to be held accountable. ”

Amon bit the subject and turned to Blanca and asked: "Captain John Guard doesn't know, you are a magician, you should know. I'm not asking, I just want to make myself clear, please answer me. ”

Blanca's cold sweat had all flowed down, and he had to answer: "It was Anuna who revealed the gods, the gods of Hathi, Baron and the Kingdom of Assyria. In fact, I don't really know the legend of the Duke Township miners, but I've heard people talk about it by accident. ”

Amon turned to John with his face: “Do you curse those around you with exotic gods to betray your faith or to betray your country? To tell you the truth, I dedicate the tears of the gods to Goddess Isis, so that I may be banished from the city of Hattie. Is this also a crime for you? ”

The calm words were heavier than the powerful hammer just now. John, who had just calmed down, could not sit down in any way. He quickly rose to his knees and prayed: “It was my fault, Mr. Amon, and I would never dare say the same thing again in the future! ”

Amon also stood up and looked at him and said, "Noble warriors, even if they are cursed by the gods, you are not an exotic god, it should not be your curse! … What would happen if I truly rewarded Isis Temple with what happened here? ”
