Pivot of the Sky

A few nights before he left Mount Ho, Amon taught Moses about his future practice and the tests to be faced, which came from Bell's message combined with Amon's own testimony. Unlike Amon, after all, Bell became a nine-level magician, and then he learned from scratch the power of practicing the two sides. As a great magician, he also had the achievements of a six-level samurai.

And Amon was deliberately cultivated by the old madman, starting directly from this road, without a curve. In the name of teaching him how to mine, the old madman laid the foundation for awakening the two sides, while Bell's exploration improved the road. Now that Ammon has taught Moses again, the cultivation of grades 1 to 6 has proven very clear.

Amon did not teach Moses any specific martial arts or divinity, but merely allowed him to cultivate pure power, accompanied by the growth of the mind. It is a secret, on the one hand, that time is too tight to be forthcoming and, on the other hand, that Moses' current situation does not make it easy to practise specific techniques.

Before proceeding, Amon finally said: "If you want to finally get out of trouble, you must first become strong and return home from a 10,000-mile journey full of hardships and tests, and be ready from now on. I teach you everything, minerals from Duke Town, and you can choose trustworthy people among your people to continue teaching and take the same vows. ”

The seed has been sown, just to see how it broke the earth bud, Amon finally left Ho Leishan, took the guard to escort the stone back to Isis Temple for life, and successfully completed this tour. The greatest gain of the trip was knowing the whereabouts of the survivors of the town of Duke, which Maria did not tell him directly, but in this way.

Upon returning to the Temple of Isis, Maria summoned him again, or was it in the study, where the servants withdrew, but the two of them alone? Not much about the tour, Amon knelt down to salute: “Thank you for pointing me to the surviving descendants of Duke Town! The former mayor was gracious to me, and his son Moses, the leader of the group, looked forward to returning to his homeland day and night. ”

Maria looked at him and wondered how sorry she was and waved: “Why don't you sit down and talk? I know what you want to ask. I am truly sorry that I was unable to order the direct release of those people, who are already Pharaoh's servants, unless there is reason to request Pharaoh's pardon. ”

Amon sat down and asked, "Do you want me to read the books? ”

Maria nodded: "If you think for yourself alone, you can be a great samurai, loyal to the Ecumenical Empire, you can acquire aristocracy, you can have a good life, no matter where you want to go. But you have your own ideals, and it is so difficult to achieve them. In the near future, the Heavenly Pivot is likely to have a conflict. If you want to ask Pharaoh for permission to release your people, unless you can establish indelible merit for the Empire, Pharaoh will have to promise you. ”

Amon nodded sincerely: "Thank you, I understand! ”

Maria euphemistically pointed out a path that would allow Amon to save the people, and she suggested that there would soon be strife on Amontian Avenue, the so-called indelible merit, as a samurai, of course. If Amon were able to lead a regiment on the battlefield to establish great merit for the Empire, he could not refuse to ask Pharaoh to release the people of the town of Duke when he asked for it.

It's too hard to do that, and despite Maria's willingness to help, it's all up to Amon himself to become a great warrior just the beginning.

Then the two of them were silent and looked at each other like this. This summons was supposed to be a distant task, and Maria had a lot to say but felt she didn't have to say it again. Amon has a lot of gratitude in his heart and feels like he doesn't have to say it anymore. Since Maria doesn't talk, he would rather just look at her and feel her breath.

Unfortunately, he couldn't sit here forever and look at her, and eventually Maria broke the silence: "Amon, no matter how hard what you have to do, I have a wish that you cherish yourself. If everything has been done, don't embarrass yourself anymore, as long as you are the pure Amon, always come back, Goddess Isis will protect you. ”

She put something on the table and said: "This mission was intended to send a magician. This earth eye was both a reward for the mission and an instrument for recording all kinds of information. Later I changed my mind and decided to send you in the desert and swamp where the monsters were rampant, or samurai familiar with the situation.

This eye of the earth is still a reward for the task, you are not a magician, but you can record information in other ways. This is a covert mission and cannot be conducted in an open capacity. Someone will give you a blank voucher and clearance document, just write your name and you can hire a bodyguard to accompany you. We're leaving in a few days. Go back and get ready. Be careful. … As for the eyes of the earth, I hope you can treasure it. ”

The gift of the Holy Virgin on behalf of the Temple of Isis is so generous that the performance of this mission gave the eyes of the earth, and the last words said were profound. If you send a magician, you can say so, because the eyes of the earth can be the bearer of information, and Amon still has to give it to you in exchange, I'm afraid it's something else.

Ammon already has an eye for the earth, and the old lunatic has recorded all kinds of information in it, and Maria hasn't tried not to do so. Amon was just a samurai, and even if there was any divine information in it, Maria knew that he would never see it. But if you're wrong, Amon is also a six-level magician, specializing in space and information theology.

Amonmo felt that some information was recorded in the eyes of the earth, but he was afraid to read it in the Temple of Isis. He was afraid to accidentally reveal his secrets when using the magic and had to hide this precious stone first. A few days from departure, the work of the archives needs to be handed over, and Amon needs to take advantage of the last few days to go through some of the books.

Amon intends to carry those volumes with him and give them to Medanzo on the way. I really want to be a general on the battlefield in the future. It is certainly not enough to build merit on my own. I must be assisted by men who are skilled in marching. Medanzo is a good candidate. At the same time, he borrowed many books on military law, logistics, marching, battlefield. Anyway, there are space law instruments, so take a look along the way.

On his last day at the archives, Amon took a chance to open the volume "The Land of Marduk" again, going over it from beginning to end. The last time he looked at it whilst it was empty, the time was too tight to read it too carefully, today he tried to remember every detail between the lines. Those two familiar marks were seen again in the last blank, and he quietly pulled out a letter from the old madman to contrast it, the mark left by Bell, but it seemed to be in a hurry, very vague and illegible.

The sound of the guards talking and saluting came from outside. Amon quickly put away the paperwork and put the cabinet back where it was. He just turned around and was about to walk out. Suddenly someone behind him said: "Captain, your stuff is missing! ”

Amon freaked out. Forgive him for being so calm and steady. At this moment, he almost didn't smash the closet around him. This is the library for the collection of precious archives, no one is allowed to enter without notice, and with his vigilance, no one is found in the house! Horrified and spinning, he has pulled out his wearable sword and set a defensible battle position in the narrow aisle between the two rows of bookshelves.

But the next moment, Amon lay down his weapon and knelt down to perform the courtesy: “Dear High Priest, why did you come in all of a sudden and not even say hello? Forgive me for not greeting you with courtesy! ”

The person in front of him smiled in his robe and looked at Amon's eyes. He didn't have a staff in his hand. He held a sign saying: "Captain Amon Guard, you are alert and very quick to react. You can see that you are loyal to duty. I am satisfied! Is this your sign? I accidentally landed on the floor. Take it back. ”

The person who spoke was familiar with Amon, George, a senior priest who had been in charge of the archives, was recently promoted by Her Holiness as a high priest, filling the vacant spot after Julian's transfer. George was casual, he didn't normally manage much, and the archive was a casual, but he didn't have much oil and water to do.

He came from the folk and had no prominent background. Later, he became a great magician and was granted the status of High Priest of the Temple of Isis, but only held the position of High Priest. As a high priest of honor, George did not like to compete for power and lived an almost secluded and secluded life in Isis Temple. Just before Amon arrived at the temple, he quietly advanced to a level 8 magician.

In addition to the original three high priests, there are five honorary high priests in the Temple of Isis, all of whom are great magicians. George is just one of the least visible of them, even though he is not in power. Unexpectedly, on the occasion of the election of a new official high priest, Her Holiness named George and reported that Pharaoh had obtained mercy, something that had happened after Amon's arrival at the Temple.

After George became a high priest, the chief priest of the Archives was naturally replaced by someone else, but still under George's direct authority, he was responsible for the management of all the archival documents of the Temple of Isis, the directory of estates and servants, the collection and registration of quarterly taxes, with more authority than before, but the human being remained unchanged, still smiling all day long.

George looks at Amon with a smile. Amon's unconscious grip, the old madman's letter to him, of course, was gone, and his cold sweat instantly came down.

Amon couldn't have been so careless, the brand was definitely in his arms, but somehow it came into the hands of the great magician. George must have practiced divine magic, went into the library without Amon knowing, saw Amon take out the sign, maybe saw him reading the script, but took it out of Amon's arms by some means.

But the high priest was confused, deliberately saying that the sign had fallen on the ground, Amon was quite nervous, so carefully for so long finally made a mistake, in the face of a great magician he could not yet resist, all the secrets were in danger of being revealed. He figured out how to explain it in his heart, but when he heard George say it, he turned his mind and said, “It's mine. Thank you, Lord George, I just accidentally fell to the ground. ”

George gave the sign back to Ammon in silence: “A very special crest, it seems to be a precious souvenir, must be collected, you can't lose it like this.... Who gave you this? Materials and textures are very special and I don't think people can process them. ”

The great magician smiled like he was going to pierce his soul, and Amon could only try to calm down and replied: “In my hometown, an elder left me a memorial, and he was gone. ”

George closed his smile and said, "Oh, is he gone? What a pity! ”

Amon told the truth: "Haven't you heard? My homeland was devastated by a flood in which the elder died. ”

George sighed: “I'm sorry to mention your sad past, but I almost forgot that your hometown is Tucker Town. You extracted the tears of the gods, and you returned Nero's relics. Young man, your actions are indeed admirable.... I hear there are a lot of scrolls in Nero's relics, I'd like to ask, one of which is called Destruction Storm? ”

Amon thought, "Lord Nero's will is very generous. I got six premium scrolls and six intermediate scrolls, but there was no ruin storm, and I haven't even heard the name. ”

George said again: “I'm just asking, it's a legendary scroll, many people have not heard of it, only Nero is said to have the ability and interest to make it on the mainland, but the energy and price paid is also huge, I don't know if he has tried it, or if it has succeeded?... Now that you're here, you can do me a favor. ”

Amon hurried: "Dear High Priest, do as you please. ”

George said in a self-derisive tone: “People are old and often have poor memories. I came to look up a volume of the book, but I found the wrong library. I'll tell you the number, you send it straight to me. I remember the book locked in a locker, you ask the priest in charge for the key, and you say it's what I want to see. ”

The archdeacon said that he had finished his speech by posting a file number, turned around and walked out, leaving Amon standing alone with the sign. The sweat on Amon dried up and I couldn't help but feel a little chilly and shook my head so hard that I walked out to fetch the book for the high priest George.

Amon was surprised when he took out the script by opening the file cabinet guarded by the magic array with a special key for neuroscience. The volumes are thin and cover the production and presentation of the scrolls, with “Destruction Storm” on the cover. This is the scroll George just asked about. Amon couldn't help but open it and take a look at it again. He couldn't help but hold his breath. He finally realized how precious the grey unnamed scroll he had been collecting!

This scroll theoretical production method is described in the scriptures, which are unimaginable and almost impossible to accomplish, while Nero did. Unlike any other scroll, "Destruction Storm" must be activated at the expense of the lives of its users, whose power is beyond control. Once it unfolds, it will not only burn the lives of its users, but it will destroy all life within its power, and even the gods are said to be severely traumatized.

If Amon goes out and doesn't even want his own life, the destruction storm in his hand can be lost with almost anyone! He also finally understood why the Gatekeeper of the Underworld had panicked when he saw him pull out the grey scroll. Nero had brought Destruction Storm to his side, perhaps with Bell, but eventually it was no longer necessary to use the scroll because Bell himself had chosen to do the same.

The thin scroll turned a few eyes and Amon put it in a beautiful wooden box and sent it personally with his hands to a temple where George normally handles his official duties. George saw Amon nodded with a smile: "It came so fast, I just sat down, and you sent the script to me. Thank you. Put it on the table. ”

Amon put the wooden box on the table and stood beside him with great respect, but did not immediately retire. Nor did George open the wooden box to look at the book, but he bowed his head and continued to handle his business. It took a while before he looked up in surprise: "Amon, you're still here. What's the matter? ”

Amon nodded: "Yes, my lord, you have not yet examined the scripture, and I am awaiting your instruction. ”

George ordered all the servants in the house to step down, which was why he said to Ammon: "Of course I believe in Captain Ammon Guard. There is no need to test this book. Now there is no one else, you can say anything. ”

Amon took two premium scrolls out of his arms and gently placed them on the table: “This is a gift from Lord Nero. In order to express your esteem for the distinguished archmage, it is my small heart, please accept it. ”

I didn't expect Amon to come to give a gift. George was stunned and his beard twisted. He laughed. “Amon, do you know how valuable this gift is? ”

Ammon replied: "Precious things must also have their corresponding use. The value of this object cannot be measured solely by money. In front of you, the noble Great Mage, they are merely objects of divine art. ”

George looked at Ammon with interest: "I've been through enough things and I know people's hearts. If I don't take it, I'm afraid you won't be comfortable. Okay, I'll thank you!” He frankly took these two premium scrolls.

Amon quietly relieved himself that the gift was an art from time immemorial and that Amon had received gifts from others, which represented a hint and a request and, if rejected, a rejection of the other party's request. George was very direct, but simply broke Amon's mind, not only to take the scroll in person, but also to tell Amon to rest assured.
