Pivot of the Sky

All the two chess fighters' minds seemed to have been integrated into that light-shaped chess game, ignoring the movement of the outside world, and focused on playing chess. Wallet and Rafael watched chess, and if the game was a battlefield, they were the ones who were on the sidelines.

Gore sat still and Moon didn't dare to speak. The whole courtyard fell into a strange quiet, which was supposed to be aggressive, but the scene became so absurd that it made people cry. Munn couldn't help but scold in his heart, who snitched, but didn't ask clearly, and let himself kick open Lord Gore's chess door, which is so rude! Did someone intentionally set him up? Who is that young man who fought against Lord Gore? Is he a great magician from Wang Du?

Moon couldn't help but grab the snitch and smoke a half-dead now, but he could only kneel at the door and wait for Gore to finish playing chess. The look was awkward.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not too long. After about a meal of kung fu, Amon suddenly looked up and laughed: “Lord Gore, the younger generations have admitted to losing, your powers and chess are far above me. Today's game of chess has opened my eyes and greatly benefited me! ”

With the voice, the lights on the table disappeared, and Sing twisted his beard and laughed: “Young man, thank you, I haven't played such a happy game in a long time! Your chess is very good, it looks like you must have studied the army formation, but you just don't have the actual command experience. As for magic, it has been quite a long and lasting achievement for you, obviously surpassing the magicians of your peers, it can't be! Someone else changed the game for so long, at least he had to take out his staff.... you did not show the likeness of defeat, this chess game has to be won or lost until dawn. You don't want the people in that yard kneeling all night, do you? Oh, I don't either. ”

After saying this, the top nine magician turned his head and smiled at Moon: "Our great samurai, you are here late at night in a very special way to greet us. I'm playing chess with a distant child. I'm sorry I couldn't say hello. Did I interrupt your official duties? If anything happens to you, keep going. I won't stand in your way. ”

Munn's forehead was already sweating, he wisely did not defend himself, but shook his head: “I was ordered to arrest a man, the intelligence was wrong, and I broke into the wrong door, please forgive Lord Gore! ”

Gore waved: “It's cold at night. You're still wearing armor. Don't kneel down. Stand up and talk. Please take a good look. Is the man you want to arrest here? ”

Moon stood up and shook his head in pieces: “I've seen it. There's no one I want to catch. ”

Gregory smiled very kindly: "Captain Munn, are you sure? ”

Moon nodded with certainty: "Of course I'm sure! ”

Gore made it clear that he was playing chess with a kid from a long way away. How could he catch him? And not to say if this person is an agent of the Ecumenical Empire, if so, I'm afraid there is something else. Besides, the man is a great magician. Moon and his men are choking enough to catch him. How to deal with this man is already Lord Gore's business. Moon doesn't even want to ask more questions.

Just then, there was another movement outside the door, and Governor Xiaomou walked in with several personal guards. It was also surprising to see the scene. He hurriedly crossed the threshold and came to the house to salute Godzilla: "Dear Archmage, why are you here? The patrol guards are so reckless, I'm sorry to disturb your evening chat! ”

Earlier there was a reward from the Guard, Captain Munn led a wanted agent, heavy soldiers surrounded a courtyard and kicked open two doors in a row, but Lord Gore found himself playing chess with two high priests inside. Governor Shawmore has fallen asleep and heard the news hurry to get dressed and see what happens.

Gregory smiled and pointed at Ammon: “This Mr. Arrocho is a disciple of my family. I am very pleased that he has achieved Grade 7 achievements at a young age. He had helped Wallet and Rafael in danger in the desert, passing just a few days through the state of Syria. I was so happy tonight that I played a game of chess that I didn't expect the Moon Warrior to come and say hello. ”

Xiao Mo quickly explained: “Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding! … This Mr. Arrocchio, a distant archdeacon and your friend, has also rescued two high priests in the desert and deserves a great reception. I won't be bothering you much tonight, and I'll have a banquet at the Governor's Palace next day to thank you. ”

Amon also rose to salute Governor Shawmore, and Gore shook his head with a smile: "It's not necessary to have a feast at the Governor's Palace. He just wants to talk to me. This is a private meeting and doesn't need to impress anyone else. Mr. Arrocho is going back to Eju tomorrow, so let's take a good walk. Since it's a misunderstanding, Governor, go back to sleep. I'm sorry to startle you too. ”

Governor Shaw Mo went back to sleep with great interest. How could his dominion of the city state of Syria be blind for so many years? There were no cars on the street or in the courtyard outside the door, and Gore apparently walked in with the two disciples without trying to impress anyone, which was a private meeting.

Moon didn't even know where he was coming from, but he came to catch a spy and surrounded the yard. How can you not detect the movement outside with Gregory's skill? There are three great magicians sitting in the house! Gregory could send Wallet or Raphael out to say hello and let Moon go, but he didn't do it.

I heard his old man played chess with the young man. The game was serious, like waiting for Moon to kick the door. Gore clearly meant to let Moon see him, euphemistically said that his elderly family already knew about this, would handle it, others should not do more, let alone talk more.

If the archdeacon is a spy of the Ecumenical Empire, he can't do it easily in this city. Gore and the two high priests are there, and no one else has to interfere. If the great magician was not an agent of the Ecumenical Empire, the consequences of this misunderstanding would be serious, so let's pretend not to know.

Xiao Mo left with Moon's apology. These people were so efficient, they didn't know where to find the right panel. Shortly after Kung Fu fixed the door and the courtyard door lightly, they closed the door and left. Shaw Moore ordered Moon and his men to keep quiet, and Moon ordered the guards to retreat to the alley around the compound and not allow anyone else to disturb them, restoring silence in the dark.

Time was running out, the door opened, Wallet and Raphael came out, then gently closed the door and left and right in the yard.

There was only Grey and Amon left in the house. When I spoke alone, Grey didn't hide anything. He opened the door and asked: "Amon, counting the time, we haven't seen each other for almost three years. When I met you outside Mr. Nietzsche's house, I really didn't expect to see you here today. You've grown up and you're already a great magician! ”

This great magician had such a sharp eye, he only glanced at it at night, and today he can recognize Amon. Amon walked out of his seat and prayed, “Yes, I am Amon, the miner in Duke, who knew you were a friend of Teacher Nietzsche's and who helped me until today, when I didn't get a chance to thank you. ”

Gore sat there and looked at Amon Godly with emotion: "You are a master of high school, and only Nietzsche can teach such a great student, but you are not like him. … Amon, since you are back in Syria City State, and I recognize you again, as the main cleric, I have to ask you a few questions. ”

Amon replied with respect: "Ask the elderly. ”

Gore thought about it before saying: “I've heard about you in Ecu. After returning Nero's relics in Cape Town State, he became a glorious samurai of Isis Temple and made his mark at the Blessing Ceremony. These are your own experiences, but you left Duke on the orders of the Hattie Empire, so I first asked you if your mission was complete. ”

Looks like there's a lot of spy infiltration between the two countries, and Gregory even heard about Amon's "story”. Amon grinned: "Return to the priest, my task has been accomplished. According to the official proclamation of the Ecumenical Empire, which I have identified, the evil archmage Bell was exterminated thirty-four years ago, when the guardian of the Temple of Isis, Neon, made a sacred sacrifice to that end. Perhaps negligently, the proclamation was not sent to the Kingdom of Hati. ”

Gore nodded: “In that case, your task has been accomplished, and the town of Duke is no longer there. In Yufa, the Kingdom of Hati should not hold the miner named Amon accountable. I ask you again, are you a secret agent of the Ecumenical Empire? ”

Amon didn't deny anything either, and honestly said, “I don't know what you mean by a secret agent? I did accept the task of the Temple of Isis to investigate the topography of deserts and marshes after the floods. The Virgin sent me on this mission because I told her I wanted to go home. ”

Gregory smiled: “The thousand miles of desert, lakes, swamps, grasslands are there, whoever wants to see it all. And what's going to happen there, I think it's clear to the top of the kingdoms, it doesn't matter if you look or not. But this time you came into Syria City to spy on military intelligence? ”

Amon shook his head: "No, I came here for only two purposes. One was to look at the manor left behind by the Mayor of Dasti, which belonged to Moses but was occupied by a bunch of rogues, so I bought the yard. Second, I would like to ask to see you, Lord Greer. Mr. Nietzsche has instructed me that I must see you when I have the chance. You may tell me something. ”

Gore shrugged, turning the subject off and continued: “Since you are not here to spy on the military intelligence, someone snitched that you are an agent sent by the Egyptian Empire, in an attempt to the detriment of the Kingdom of Hati and the State of Syria, what do you think? ”

Amontan replied: "I was forced to leave my hometown, and the temple of Isis took me in. The Kingdom of Hathi subordinates to the Egyptian Empire, and at least now, I just ask to go home and see what has become of it, and Isis Temple allows me to return what I see. If you believe that this is contrary to the laws of the Kingdom of Hati, even if it is disposed of in accordance with the law. ”

Gregory thought about it and smiled bitterly: “Most of the conspiracies in the world are afraid to open up an explicit statement. If you say so, it is true that none of the decrees were violated, at least before the public break-up between the Kingdom of Hati and the Ecumenical Empire. Amon, do you know why I let those people in and see you with me? ”

Amon did not answer and asked back: "Please instruct me. ”

Gore: “With you playing that game of chess, I am well aware that they can't catch you at all. Once they do, they can only cause casualties to innocent people around them. A magnificent level 7 magician like you is not so easy to catch. ”

Amon said humbly: "But in front of you, I didn't have a chance to escape, and it's easy for you to take my hand. ”

Gore blinked suddenly: "Really? Even Scorpion Wang Xishui dared not strike at you easily, you must rely on war, legend has it that Nero made a ruin storm in his later years, and you are the one who got his relics, right? … the legend goes without saying that you did not violate the decree of the Kingdom of Hattie and accomplish the task of that year. I just came to meet the late man and play chess with you. ”

Amon didn't say much and knelt down there again and said, "Thank you! ”

Sing sighed and shook his head softly: "You don't have to thank me, I didn't really help you, either back then or now. … I won't be polite in case I see you on the battlefield. ”

Amon: “You've given me enough help, why say that? ”

Grey: “Because we are in different places, what I know is more complicated than what you know. I don't have much business to say, and I want to thank you for saving two of my students in the desert. But I have a question in my heart asking you to answer it. ”

Speaking, the great magician waved his hand and another light appeared in the house. It was the scene where Amon and Scorpion Wang Xishui swore to each other, saying separately - “If I break my vows, I will never be a true god.”, “If I break my oath, I will always be a humble human being in your eyes. ”

He waved again, the light disappeared, and Gregory revealed the divine colour of his thoughts and asked: "You and King Scorpion's vows have great meaning. What secrets do you have in mind? ”

The archdeacon spoke so straightforward that Amon neither wanted to lie nor knew how to answer. He was hesitating to hear Grey and said: "You don't have to answer urgently. I want to show you another secret before making such a request. I've been burying this secret in my heart for a long time, and even the closest ones haven't revealed it, and I'm finally waiting for you. ”

Gregory stretched out his left hand and shook gently. A staff appeared empty-handed. With a ring on his left middle finger, it appears that the ring left behind by Nero is a similar space instrument in which the staff is hidden. As the staff appeared, the tables and chairs in the house and the four walls seemed to fade away in transparency, and Amon felt like he was in another world.

It's not uncommon for Amon to demonstrate that information theology can leave traces of light, but Gore's brilliant magic brought Amon directly into the scene a long time ago, and it's as real as it sounds.

Flooding, a cloudy ocean, dark clouds of the sky and dark rain, a lightning stroke across the darkness of the sky, with a deafening sound, makes people wonder where they are. A spherical lightning bolt fell and shook bright traces of a spiral in the water, just at this moment a voice drank with anger: "O god, you have finally appeared in the world, I have waited too long! ”

A man split the waves straight into the sky, it was the old madman Nietzsche, his turbulence and beard dancing in the air, his staff emitting thousands of golden light bands, his eyes open searching for the dark clouds and the post-lightning god, his mouth cursing the wand waving, like stabbing the sky out of a cave, his body spreading suffocating madness.

The gods on the cloud finally showed up, Nietzsche threw the staff out, and in the air it burst into a golden ray of light, like the most dazzling sun, launching the strongest blow of his life, and laughing wildly to make the gods not to hide and not to be afraid! Immediately after, numerous rough lightnings converged from all sides, the heavens and the earth vibrated, and Nietzsche turned into a dazzling ray of light, the gray flying extinction.

The scene disappeared, but Gregory's magic was not over, and the Light Shadow Transformation Room was in the temple of the great majesty. Greer was kneeling in front of Enrique's statue praying, suddenly hearing the voice of the god: “It was the flood that destroyed the town of Duke, it was the heavy rain that brought the flood, it was the warm and wet wind from the sea that blew with the circulation of air in the Assyrian plateau that led to the heavy rain, it was my divine power that caused the airflow in the plateau to spin, it was my anger that guided the lightning in the cloud. ”

Amon also heard the cry of Gore in his soul: "But what about Duke Town? No one survived the flood! ”

Enrir replied, "The flood is my blessing to the State of Syria! I will hear all the cheers, and my temple will pour into the tides of the thankful believers, and soon you will understand all this. As for Duke Town, are you asking me why I didn't save them in the flood? Why should I save them? ”

Then a message was printed in Amon's mind about what happened in his hometown after he left Duke town, the death of many children, a series of tragedies, people prayed to Goddess Mu Yun while not agreeing to violate the patron saint's message.

Then Enrique's voice was heard and he said, "Priest, do you see it? They have turned away from the Prophet of the Guardian, and there is no reason for the Goddess of Mu Yun to remain there, so I will give back to that land. Flooding is my blessing, but people cannot ask for the blessings of the gods alone, and I do not need to save sinners in the flood. ”

This is the end of Gore's divinity, and everything in the house is back to normal. Amon knelt there with a twitch on his shoulders, no crying voice, but he was already crying and kept his head down for half a day without speaking. It had been a long time since he had shed tears, and at this moment he had finally understood the causes and consequences of the great flood, and had seen the last glow of Nietzsche's life, so full of unspeakable sorrow that he could not speak.
