Pivot of the Sky

Rhode-Dick nodded and asked, "What about the messenger named Raphael? ”

Aristotle laughed: "Grey's suggestion also mentions Uruk City State. He also sent a messenger to see Gilgamesh. You sent a spy to find out what Gilgamesh did to the messenger? ”

Rafael came to Cape Town State and handed over the secret message to the owner of the city, but he did not hear back, and the daily delicious entertainment was delicious, but his residence was escorted by heavy guards, nominally to protect his safety, in fact he was placed under house arrest.

……

Wallet came to Uruk City State, Gilgamesh and Enqidu were not visited, and he waited for several days in the guest house, usually hosting a pair of brothers named Abel and the Hidden. The two men were destitute aristocrats, who, as teenagers, were awakened with strength and were said to have been concentrating on the cultivation of divinity in the farm. Not long ago, they became middle-class magicians and received a great praise from the city's owner, Gilgamesh, who was promoted to the high priesthood of the Temple of Uruk.

Lord of the city praises their constant heart and will. Although the ancestral industry has fallen unheard of, they have not given up hope and effort. Without pointers and help, practicing magic on their own has intermediate achievements, enough to make many people sweat. Promoting and reusing this pair of brothers is also an example to encourage more talent to emerge in urban states.

The High Priest of the Temple of Uruk is also a senior cleric in the State Legion of Uruk City, and Lord Gilgamesh, the owner of the city, has recently been soliciting talent and strengthening armaments and seems to be preparing for war. It is always good to be prepared in peacetime, but the people of the city state are rather confused. With Lord Uruk and Lord Enqidu, who dares to offend Uruk city state?

Abel and the Hidden asked Wallet's intentions several times, and Wallet only replied that since the floods cut off the road, and Syria City State and Uruk City State had not been in contact for two years, Lord Gore sent a special envoy to convey his greetings, but did not say much more.

When Gilgamesh returned to the city, he summoned Wallet. After reading the confidential letter, he remained silent. He ordered Enchidu to be summoned and handed the letter directly to his most trusted brother. Eun-kyu read the letter and frowned: “You have a lot of nerve. I dare to make such a suggestion! To be honest, I admire him. ”

Gilgamesh laughed: "There are not many people in the world who can admire you. Gregory is not easy, but I cannot answer his suggestions. My brother, what do you say we do? ”

Enqidu: “I heard that Wallet, the messenger of the letter, was a legendary disciple of Grey and a high priest of the State of Syria, and he did not know what kind of letter he had sent. We called him in to show him the letter himself, and from the attitude of the students, we might be able to see what kind of person the teacher is. ”

Gilgamesh ordered Wallace to come, politely chilled, and ordered all his servants to step back, leaving only three people in the house. Gilgamesh asked with a smile, "Lord Wallet, do you know what you sent me? ”

Wallet shook his head: "My teacher, Lord Gore, just asked me to deliver the letter and leave it to the owner of the city. You opened it personally and didn't tell me what it was about. ”

Eun-kyu handed over the letter: “Thousands of miles across the swamp desert, went through a lot of vicious risks, just to send this letter, but it is too bad to know what it is, take a good look. ”

Wallet shook his head again: "My teacher told me not to open this letter and not to be curious. ”

Gilgamesh: "You didn't open the letter, didn't you want my response? I will discuss the reply with you. Did Lord Grey say you are not allowed to talk to me about this letter in person? ”

Hurlight: “That's not true. ”

Eunqidu: “Then watch. ”

In that case, Wallet took the letter quite frankly and watched as the color of the divine became more and more concentrated. Gilgamesh's elongated eyes closed and stared at him: "Lord Messenger, what should I do when you send such a letter? In order to show my loyalty to the kingdom, should I give you, along with this letter, to King Baron? ”

Wallet looked up and said, "I'm just a messenger, I don't know what the letter is about, but now I see it, and I don't shy away from what it says. My teacher does not mean to be hostile to you; he sees not only the gods, but also an impending conflict and war. I admire the will of the gods, the greed of the people, and the teacher's desire to try to stop the tragedy. I understand his thoughts and await your answer, Lord City Lord. ”

Gilgamesh nodded in praise: “Aren't you afraid at all? ”

Wallet smiled bitterly: "I was surprised and worried, but I was afraid it would be useless because the letter had arrived. My lords, you are the heroes of all people on the continent, even the gods dare to slaughter. But I'd like to ask you, what was the purpose of the killing of Humbaba? This letter is just a suggestion that you can reject or accept, but why be afraid of such a suggestion? If I dare to give it away, don't you dare look! ”

Enqidu suddenly slapped the table, the cup tray didn't shock, but the legs of the four wooden tables fell several inches deep in the paved stone brick. He laughed haha: “Wallet, dare say this in front of us, you have the balls! We will not embarrass you whether we accept Gregory's advice or not, and I will personally escort you back to the Baron border. … Lord City, what kind of reply are you going to give us? We don't have to make this messenger difficult. ”

Gilgamesh: “Just one word —— I get it! Please tell Lord Greer truthfully.” He thought about it and asked curiously: "Lord Wallet, I hear you're a level six magician, right? ”

Wallace nodded and replied, "Yes, I was a level six magician when I got here. ”

Gilgameshmo said with emotion: "The age of strife will also be the age of emerging heroes. The continent has been really talented lately! I heard that the Custodian Virgin of the Temple of Isis is the youngest archdeacon today, and that we in the Kingdom of Baron also have a theologian named Jacques who has just been promoted to archdeacon, and I didn't expect a new archdeacon to appear in the Kingdom of Hati. ”

Listening to his tone, Wallet was certain that he would undoubtedly become a great magician. Wallace himself stopped talking and looked like a loser, but he didn't deny anything.

……

It has been more than a month since Rhode-Dick sent agents into Uruk City State, as suggested by Aristotle, to hear from another messenger, Wallet, and returned to Cape Town State to report. Gilgamesh did not make Wallet difficult, and Enkido even personally sent Wallet to the border. Rhode-Dick, who heard the news, was also prepared to send Rafael home.

The deputy priest, Lord Julian, heard that the State of the city of Syria had sent envoys and had also deliberately summoned Rafael to ask him many questions about the situation following the floods. Rafael answered in as much detail as he could with great courtesy, and everything else was true, except the secret letter that he hadn't read himself.

Julian went to King Ecuadou some time ago, returned to the city to meet Rafael, and then went to Rod Dickmeyer. In the Chamber, he said: "Pharaoh has orders to reorganize his armaments and prepare to attack the Kingdom of Hati, using the Cape Town State as an outpost. Over the next six months, there will be constant shipments of war materiel to Cape Town State in various ways. We need to be ready for everything, but we can't spook Hatha yet. ”

Rhode-Dick sighed, and he was so worried that something was finally going to happen that he couldn't hide from it, but he appeared confused and asked, "Why is the attack on Hattie based in Cape Town State? From the Ronnie Divine River, it seems more convenient to land directly across the ocean. ”

"In a year's time, land traffic will resume between Cape Town State and Syria City State, and Pharaoh's choice of this route is naturally intentional. Around the original town of Duke, in two years, a thousand miles of wilderness will form, which will be the new common frontier of the Heavenly Pivot mainland. The purpose of Pharaoh is to make the Kingdom of Hati a permanent and complete subordination, and only the occupation of that frontier can deter the entire continent and establish the cause of the ancient recitation for the Empire. ”

Despite the prophecies contained in Gregory's letter, Rode-Dick was still shocked to get confirmation from Julian Mouth, who locked his eyebrows and asked, “Can this be true? ”

Julian answered with certainty: "Of course it is true that the elders of the Ecumenical Academy made a collective prophecy, which is certain. There is also a message in the temple that the Kingdom of Hati, although it has built the Temple of Horus everywhere, has not led the people of the Son to make a sincere sacrifice, and this act of the Light Spirit is inexcusable. So this is not only a battle for the empire, but also a battle for the dignity of King Horus. ”

Rod Dick's eyebrow lock goes deeper: “About when? ”

"This is a secret matter that only the two of us are entitled to know," said Julian in silence. Much preparation was needed for inter-State war, and the mobilization of goods and armies could not be concealed, but the sooner they became known to each other, the better.... Suddenly a messenger was sent from the State of Syria, and I saw him today. It would be wise for the Lord of the City to keep him under house arrest. ”

Rod Dick grinned, "But I can't always leave this messenger in the guest house, just waiting for you to come back and discuss it. ”

"It's a good idea," said Julian, "to give him the best hospitality, give him the most precious gifts, pick out beautiful women to serve him well, and order people to take him around the city to see a peaceful scene. He would then be escorted back across the desert, leaving the messenger speechless. … In the name of the escort messenger, we also sent a messenger back with a guard team to look at the situation there. ”

……

Rafael stayed for two months in Cape Town State, and Rhode-Dick's original hospitality had been excellent, but when Lord Julian returned, everything had gotten better and he had become a guest of honor. Rafael, a grand aristocrat from the Kingdom of Hattie and honored since his infancy, has been able to penetrate the difficult wilderness alone, but equally to man's wine wealth. Whatever you love, it's not like you haven't seen it before.

Rafael's thoughts coincided with the fact that he barely went out for two months. He came very tired from crossing the Syrian desert. Unlike normal tiredness, as a magician, his powers were almost exhausted and his recovery was particularly slow. In a short period of time, he was not sure to return safely through the dangerous Syrian desert, so rest well.

Two months later, Rhode-Dick came back to Rafael to apologize and explain to him that the deputy chief cleric, the Great Mage of Julian, had not been in the city for some time, and things were busy again, so he neglected the messenger. In the meantime, he invited Rafael to have a good time in all parts of the city, meet exotic landscapes, enjoy yourself and see what he likes or wants, however he asks.

After a few days of playing in Cape Town State, Rafael's powers were fully restored, but the growth of power continued slowly. His heart was full of surprises and surprises, but his voice was silent. Since he was so enthusiastic, enjoy it. He also asked to go out of town for a tour of the exotic mountain countryside, a circle that had been playing for almost a month.

When Rafael finally left the country, Rhode-Dick sent an envoy back with a guard to cross the perilous deserts and marshes, and the noble Lord Rafael could not be left alone for the sake of security. As for Rhode-Dick's response to that confidential letter -- no response!

……

Without mentioning what several city states have been busy with, Amon has also been busy lately, leading the Caveman tribe out of the deep mountains to move to a new home. There are more than 600 men, women, children and children in the Link tribe, and there is much more to live for, killing large livestock for dry food, while underage young animals are to be taken away to continue raising. Such a team walking in the deep mountains is truly a drag house.

When Amon and Medanzo came this way, they only walked for five days, but by the time they returned, they had walked long enough for a month to exhaust Link. Mountain roads are hard to walk, but for cave wildlings who have lived in the deep mountains since they were little, it's just a little too much to resist. Most desperately, many roads have been cut off, many weir plug lakes along the way, waiting out of the mountains, and several more swampy areas that are simply impassable.

This is when you see the strengths of the Cloud Dream and those four giant iron beasts, who can swim through the water and swamps with heavy objects, especially in muddy swamps, much better than in motorboats. Amon gave Link that magical bone to carry his people on lakes and swamps in invisible ships.

The invisible space aboard is large, but Link's manoeuvring of large ships at once has also been quite strenuous, with all the tribes plus livestock taking several rounds to complete. On the surface, it is fair to say that the resistance to manoeuvring an invisible ship is not great, but in the marshes it is quite difficult to travel with a full crew.

Amon didn't do it, and Medanzo smiled badly and only saw the noise. Link almost exhausted his powers and got really tired when he arrived in Duke town, where he rested for days without moving. Amundo asked Medanzo to command the people to set up temporary camps and arrange for the future.

They brought enough dry food for a year, hunting in the nearby wilderness jungle, while Ammon's wind dance prepared seeds for him to plant next spring. He plotted various landmarks on this deserted island, telling Link which were the lands and mines of the post-Duke people, who could choose other places to cultivate their farms.

Divine stones and ore can be mined at the foot of the mountain in the Assyrian plateau in the north, which is not currently the most important material, but the smelting of iron ore needs to be urgently timed, be it farming tools or weapons. If you want to mine, you need to cross a swamp, and the five Ironclad Beasts are the best escorts.

After this massive migration, Link finally took the people out of the deep mountains and built their homes on fertile soil, and this exhausted elder also quietly possessed a six-level achievement of two-sided strength.

Once a simple camp has been established, it will be necessary to plan the forthcoming castles, and the mines will also be quarries, and the strong men in the Cave Wildlings tribe will be good craftsmen, which will not require Amundo's concern, but will only take time. With Armored Beast King Cloud Dream and Link and Medanzo here, security in the wilderness is temporarily guaranteed, and large-scale conflicts will not spread here for at least a year or two.

After everything was settled, Amon told Medanzo: "You stay and help Link train samurai, professor combat, and guard your home in future conflicts. Once they've built a simple wall, the samurai have learned how to fight, and then you leave here to meet me in Menfest City. I need to go to Syria City State first, so you're here to help Link. ”

Link and Medanzo both said, "Amon God, you have taken us on a successful trial journey, we have become Level 6 magicians and samurai, what are you going to do now? ”

Ammon replied, "Moses left the deed in a secret place in the state of Syria. I will take it out in case, by the way, to look at the terrain around the original black fire jungle and complete the task entrusted to me by Isis Temple. I know you want to follow me, but the people here need you more, and it's easier for me to go alone. ”

Armored Beast King Yun dreamed of Amon passing through a large swamp until he reached the edge of the Blackfire jungle. Amon said to the cloud dream: "Go back too, this swamp can't stop me, but those tribes live on a huge island surrounded by mud and need your help to get in and out. Practice your strength, don't learn that the monsters have nothing to do with it, and guard this home. ”

Cloud dreams wandered back and Amon's big leather pocket carried Schrödinger on his way west. The blackfire jungle has completely changed its appearance, and the monstrous black shrubs grow on the high rocks, but the lows have been submerged by sludge and accumulated water, marshes in the jungle that can't even be passed by boat, let alone by foot.

The Black Fire Swamp did not stop the Great Magician from walking with the Great Samurai Amon. Some of the passages in the monstrous rock bush were narrow, and Amon did not expand the invisible ship and walked with his hand cane. The muddy marshes and waters, beneath his feet, were like solid land, walking swiftly and steadily.

Not far into the Blackfire Swamp, Amon stood suddenly as he walked, putting down his staff and kneeling in the mud. Not far ahead, between the two boulders revealing the surface of the water, a girl stood there looking at him with a smile.
