Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 94: 092, Strange Vows
The two naked beauties with scorpion tails actually had a scepter in their hands, and they didn't know what animal was made of. The top of the scepter on the left was set with a flaming elf, and the top of the scepter on the right was set with a blue heart. Are there magicians among the monsters? In the middle of them is the man with the upper body and the scorpion with the lower body. It should be the legendary Scorpion Wang Shui. The monster made by the fallen ancient gods is poisonous scorpion, the same origin as the Hydra Snake Humbaba.
Unfortunately, Amon and others are not Gilgamesh and Enqidu, and it is almost impossible to kill Shui. Raphael whispered to Wallet with information magic: "The Scorpion King is invincible, throw the scroll, and take out the shuttle while you can! ”
Wallet replied quietly: "My shuttle can only take two people, they just risked their lives to save each other, they can't just leave. ”
Gore gave Wallet a flying magic machine that allowed him to quickly escape with Raphael in times of crisis, while also giving him three flying reels to help start the shuttle. But with Wallet's skill, he could only take himself and Raphael by shuttle. The two high priests were generous enough not to escape at the first hour.
Raphael said quietly: "At least Scorpion King speaks, not that you can't negotiate, but don't do it. ”
They muttered here in secret, Amon and Medanzo could not hear, but the Scorpion Wang Shui heard, and suddenly he said, “Are there any such fools among the despicable? What are you two talking about? If you think you can escape without escaping, try it. ”
His voice was low and dull, like something hard was rubbing and echoing a metal collision. Only Medanzo didn't know what he was capable of. With Amon around him, Medanzo had always had a lot of nerve. He was about to wave his sword to form a battlefield in front of him, as he had just done, but Amon pulled it behind him unexpectedly.
Ammon stepped forward to the front of the crowd, sounded calm and asked without a shudder: "Are you the legendary Poison Scorpion King? ”
The Scorpion King lit a bit of a big head: "Yes, I am the Scorpion King, the Scorpion and the Ice Scorpion. Despicable human beings who, in the face of not praying for forgiveness, want to struggle to die?” He spoke with blind eyes and flashing lights, and the scorpion and ice scorpion around him even revealed a hint of fear.
Medanzo and others in the back did not see that Amon had taken out a grey scroll and held it in his chest, and he answered with a destruction storm in his hand: "Please forgive me! Does that work? Those giant scorpions must have been your people, and if we had only begged for forgiveness and not fought, we would not be able to survive now. May I ask the great Scorpion King, legend has it that you possess the power of a god, why do you appear before a humble mortal? ”
The Scorpion King snorted coldly: "You scoundrel, you dare ask me, knowing that it is my people, but you have killed so many! Do you think your life is more noble than a scorpion? ”
Amon shook his head: "I don't think my life is more noble than a scorpion, but I don't think the life of a scorpion is more noble than mine, but Your Majesty the Scorpion, you call me a despicable human being, presumably more noble than all of us?” As he spoke, he twisted the destruction storm gently with his fingers, making it look ready to open, as if it were a silent warning - that if you were such a noble man and poisoned Scorpion King, there was no need to end up like a humble human being.
The Scorpion King suddenly laughed, and the laugh was like the sand rubbing together and buzzing, almost shocking people into dizziness, and he said with a cold smile: “How dare you see me not kneeling to pray. I admire your courage, so I decided to give you a chance. Two of you will pay for my people. I can spare the other two, who you choose to die for! ”
The Scorpion King was brilliant, but he had discovered that Wallet and Raphael were not with Amon. It was those two magicians who had clashed with the mutant scorpion herd before the war. He did not want to make enemies of Amon, who had the destruction storm in his hand, but made such a request.
The Scorpion King's request was an order that the cold tone should not be disputed. Wallet and Rafael looked back and exchanged their eyes for a decision, and if Amon chose between them, they immediately fled using the flying machine. And Medanzo whispered in the back, “Amon, don't fall for it! This scorpion king is very cunning, trying to break the four of us together and win without a fight. ”
Amon shook his head: "I have no choice who dies, man or scorpion. We did not actively harm any scorpion, but were constantly attacked by scorpions in the desert, all in self-defence, regardless of whose life was more noble. Scorpion King, if you were me, would you answer, shouldn't you have killed those scorpions? ”
The scorpion on the left of the Scorpion King finally couldn't bear to intervene. Her voice was slightly dull, but it bore a magnetism: “Why is it unfair that you killed so many of His Majesty's children and only paid for two lives? ”
Amon shook his head again: "We killed a lot of scorpions, not to do it, but to do it. Unlike a regular scorpion, the scorpion I encountered on this journey in the desert is to blame only one person for such a heavy casualty, but I do not know if it can be described in human terms. ”
The scorpion asked, “Who should be blamed? ”
Raphael behind Amon intervened: "The scorpions were intelligent, obviously trained, but those who trained them buried them with that enlightened intelligence. They launch attacks and understand coordination, but the purpose of the battle is unclear. Such attacks are meaningless and are simply a futile drain on life. Whoever drives and trains them is responsible for their deaths. ”
The Scorpion King's face became ugly, and the ice scorpion on the right opened up, and his voice was crisp and seemed to carry some seductive power: “Isn't this anthropological with you? Those scorpions have enlightened their minds and become horrible because they contaminate their humanity. You should be ashamed of yourself as a despicable human being. ”
Amon Lian shook his head: “This scorpion, who can carry a staff, you are wrong! There are not only despicable and horrible things that you understand, but also thoughts and pursuits of all good things. In the eyes of those with low hearts, one can never but see the inferiority of others, and the spirits that the scorpions unleash are not true human beings, if you think that that is what is unique to humankind, and that is precisely what destroys the glow of humanity. ”
Wallet also stepped forward and stopped Raphael: “Lord Scorpion King, allow me to call you Sir. Do you train those scorpions like a battlefield and order them to launch pointless attacks in the desert in order to cultivate an army of scorpions in this way?... My name is Wallet, and my companion Rafael is the high priest of the Temple of Bon Enrir in the city of Sya. Our teacher is the main cleric of the Temple of Sya and a Class IX great magician who commands the entire state of the city, much stronger than your Scorpion Army formation. But we will not wage senseless wars and let civilians die senseless deaths. ”
Medanzo also said, "Now that we're not hurt today, you can ignore this, your scorpion is dead, and you should think about it yourself.... and these two sexy beauty scorpions, I want to ask you, why do you have to be a human being when your tongue is despicable? ”
After the initial nervousness and panic, they discovered that the Scorpion King didn't do it, but only did it, and Amon acted calmly, and all these people calmed down to speak their own sense, and the mouth was fine.
The scorpion king's face was very ugly. The flaming pattern on his cheeks changed color without waiting for the two people around him to open up. He replied in a silent voice: "This is not the look of man, but the look of the god. Legend has it that the god created man according to his own appearance. Having a body like a god, stupid humans don't know how to cherish it. ”
“We love our bodies, so we don't want to be hurt by your scorpions," said Amon. Scorpion King, I would like to ask you another question: Is it possible that humans have created gods in their own way? Do you know how to become a god, or do you also want to be a true god? If that's the case, Your Majesty, why don't we make a deal today? ”
Only Amon knew that the Scorpion King didn't want to end up together, and of course he didn't want to use the Destruction Storm himself, but it wasn't a way to get stuck with this arrogant and powerful Scorpion King, so he had to find a step down the other side to end it.
Amon's words made Wallet and others stare at each other, but Scorpion King's face changed several times. It seemed like something had been said, and he finally nodded after half a day of silence: “Interesting man, what is your name and what do you want to make a deal with me? ”
"My name is Arrocho," replied Ammon. "The deal is simple. As long as your Scorpion Corps does not initiate an attack, my people and I will not harm your men. Desert is not the right place for humans to live, and you want to have your own divine domain, though you can try it. In fact, you should be happy to meet us, not Enchidu and Gilgamesh, and think about the fate of Humbaba. And we should also be glad that His Majesty the Scorpion showed up without being surrounded indefinitely by the mutant Scorpion. ”
Ammon's words shocked Wallet, and he hurried out: “On behalf of Syria City State, I made the same agreement with Lord Scorpion King. Did you know that this desert is in Syria City State? ”
The Scorpion King narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why don't you represent the Temple of Enrique, this high priest? ”
Wallet shook his head: "As far as I'm concerned, I can only make an appointment with you on behalf of Syria City State. ”
And the Scorpion King asked Amon, “How do I know who your people are? ”
Amon raised the iron branch in his hand: “This is my staff, which is very special, and you can recognize that my people will carry this staff if they pass through your territory. ”
The Scorpion King thought about it and asked: "What if someone broke a deal? ”
Amon laughed: "Well, Your Majesty, the mighty and noble Scorpion, although you can appear and punish like a god, you will not be subjected to revenge, hatred, curse. … In order to enter into a formal contract, we must all take an oath. ”
The Scorpion King made yet another scornful laugh: "Are human oaths valid? What kind of oaths do you want to make? ”
Amon replied not slowly: "Your oath is - if there is a breach, you will never be a god, and my oath is - if there is a violation, you will always be a humble human being. ”
Wallace and the others in the back look a little weird. What kind of vow is that? Absolutely bullshit! And the Scorpion King's mind is really different than that of any other human being, and he nodded, "All four of you have to make the same vows, that's it! ”
Medanzo didn't smile, pointing at the scorpion and the ice scorpion behind Ammon: “Then all three of you must swear the same, so it's only fair. ”
The Scorpion King simply said, "Okay, it's settled. ”
Wallet and Raphael looked at each other and didn't dare to laugh, so four men and three scorpion demons each swore an oath. The Scorpion King waved a huge clamp and turned into the hands of mankind. His lower body also became a human figure. He became a strong giant man, pointing to Amon and four others: “Remember today's covenant and keep your vows! ”
As the quicksand rose to cover the three human scorpion demons, the dunes then flattened, and the Scorpion King and two of his men had disappeared. Medanzo patted his chest and said, "Ah, Arrocchio, you're amazing. So you sent the Scorpion King away? I thought I was going to tell you today! ”
Amon had put away the destruction storm and turned to Medanzo with an iron branch in his hand: "Come and help me. ”
Medanzo stepped forward and grabbed one of Amon's arms and was surprised: "What's wrong with you, you're sweating cold? ”
Amon waved his hand without saying anything, and Wallet and Raphael proceeded with courtesy: "Lord Arrocchio, thanks to your wisdom and bravery today, we have been fortunate enough to escape a heist. Thank you also very much for not choosing to hand us over to Scorpion King in the face of the threat. ”
Amon grinned, "I'm not qualified to do that, and if I do, it's really me. Let's go. Aren't you going to deliver the letter? It's safer to get out of here as soon as possible. ”
Wallet nodded, “We're leaving now, and the two of you won't be long, looking forward to meeting in Syria City!” He threw a shuttle into a boat-shaped space, wrapped himself and Raphael's body in the air, and opened another flying reel in the middle of the sky, and the shuttle suddenly disappeared into the sky at an accelerated pace.
Amon looked in the direction of the shuttle's disappearance: “These two are great. They could have fled on their own for the first time, but they stayed with us. ”
Medanzo's mouth was wide open, and he asked with some envy, "What did they throw out? You can fly with people! ”
