104. Who betrayed Amon

Gore stretched out his hand and pulled Amon up: "Son, you can stand up now, I wonder if your shoulders and knees can handle all this? But I'm sure you're stronger than I thought. Mr. Nietzsche chose this fate and deliberately wanted me to see it. He must have wanted to tell me something. ”

Amon stood up and felt that his body and mind were still heavy, like that helpless child many years ago, lying on Grey's shoulder and crying. Grey just patted his back gently and didn't speak. It wasn't long before Amon stopped crying and found that tears had wet his shoulders.

He wiped his tears dry: “Mr. Grey, I can't describe the gratitude in my heart, someone finally told me all this today! The god, the god Enrique, I just recognized him. I met him in Sumerian, the Kingdom of Baron, when he was a shepherd. And just a few days ago, I said goodbye to that god. He's just Enrique ever since, and I won't forgive him, even if one day I could be a god! ”

"Son, how could you say something like that? Is that the secret of your oath with Scorpion King? ”

Amon nodded: "When you asked me earlier, I didn't know how to answer. Now I understand why Teacher Nietzsche asked me to come to you? He wants you to tell me all about it, and he wants me to tell you what he's been after all his life. Me and you, we're all hopeful people in his old family. … Mr. Gorley, please sit down and let me tell you what Mr. Nietzsche thinks and the answers I certify. ”

The two of them sat back at the table, and what happened in the house was unnoticeable to anyone outside the house. Wallet and Raphael waited patiently in the yard until the sky was bright.

When the light came out of the window, Amon finally finished what he wanted to say and shared his experiences over the years. Sing Long sighed: "Son, this is the secret the world dreams of, that's what you told me. ”

There are tear marks on Amon's face: “I can't say this is my revenge on you or on the gods, even if it's just because of Teacher Nietzsche's hopes, I should tell you. Some people I won't tell him anyway, and more people, it's no use telling them. You are already a top nine magician and it is easy to understand every word I say. ”

Gore's colour is complicated, and it took a while to close his eyes to say: “I've been through too much in my years, and I'm afraid it's hard to prove this path from scratch. In fact, with Mr. Nietzsche's gift and talent, he should have achieved something higher than I did, but he devoted his life's energy to the search for this path, leaving it to you to prove it. My hopes are already slim, but among my students, Wallet and Raphael should be promising. ”

“You already know the secret," asked Amon. "Do you want to teach Wallet the power of Raphael? ”

What Amon said to Grey was completely different from what he had taught his disciples. Medanzo and Link and others only know that this is a unique way to cultivate power, and Amon has never said that power on both sides is the path to becoming a god. But in front of Gore, he made it clear that one of the top nine magicians naturally understood the deep meaning of it.

Gregory shook his head: "I will not teach the power of two high priests in my capacity as Lord Cleric of the Temple of Enrique. Besides, this is the path you have proved, even if my achievements are higher than yours, I am afraid I will not be able to teach my disciples like you, because I have no proof of it myself. Amon, I have a personal request. Can I ask you something? ”

Amon nodded: "Don't say anything. Please say something. ”

Gregory thought, "If you get a chance in the future, lead them down this path. I know it's not to be forced, it's to everyone's fate. You cultivate not only a two-sided power, but also a belief different from the temples of the world. If one day they encounter life's troubles and need guidance, don't forget my instructions at this time. ”

Amon thought about it for a while and finally nodded: "Mr. Grey, I remember, I won't forget. ”

Gregory stood up and said: “Actually, I have another guess, whether it's physical or divine, that practicing to the extreme has the potential to become a god, but I'm afraid this is harder, and the test I'm facing is unknown. Let me prove it to someone like Eun-kyu, and the power you practiced on both sides should be the secret of the gods. ”

Amon was somewhat puzzled: “You and Enqidu? ”

"I'm a top nine magician," replied Gore. "What have you been through? You've just learned. The situation in Enqidu is unclear. He is a pure samurai who has never had a secondary awakening without power. Either he cannot, but he does not want to, or he must wholeheartedly cultivate his physical skills to unprecedented peaks in order to prove that mortals can be as powerful as gods, or by then powerful gods. ”

Amon took a long breath: “Turns out, this samurai's ambition is quite small! ”

Before saying goodbye, Gore added: "You want to guide the descendants of the town of Duke back to their homeland, and you have led the caveman tribes to build their homes in the swamp. In the near future, that fertile soil will inevitably give rise to strife among nations, with milk and honey flowing in their homes, but with thousands of years of blood and fire. I have a desire to build a whole new city there, no matter what race, no matter what faith coexistence, I wonder what you think? ”

“It's even harder to be a god than a mortal, but I admire your wishes," Ammon said. If that wish can be fulfilled, I also hope that the descendants of the town of Duke will live in such a city state. ”

"Even though hopes are dim, at least some people have tried, and that's all I think about. It is foreseeable that the strife there will also be the strife of the gods, and that people are driving their desires in the name of God.... Amon, do you know who betrayed you this time, why did the patrol team break into the door when I came to visit? ”

Amon thought, "Who is this messenger from Cape Town State? I met the motorcade at the south gate and felt hostile gaze. ”

Gore: “You mean Fayor Judah? Then one day, before you leave the city of Syria, I will give you something. ”

After saying this, he was about to go out and heard a "grunt” and left something on the table. He surprised the Great Nine Magician. Looking back, a cat fell off the beam, and it was Schrödinger. Yesterday when Gordon visited, Schrödinger didn't want to show up and hide on the beam, and none of the three guests found it.

After talking to Amon for half a day, the cat watched very carefully and listened very carefully. His eyes were open and his ears were raised. The further his head probed from the beam, he seemed a little distracted, and he accidentally fell off. The cat's body was flexible, and when the sky turned around, it landed on the table unharmed, of course, but Song was shocked.

The archdeacon looked at Schrödinger and said, "Amon, is this your cat? ”

Amon nodded: "Yes, this cat was my friend, the cat from Mr. Nietzsche's house, and has been with me ever since. His temper is a bit special, he doesn't really like to deal with people, but he likes to watch the crowd. ”

Gore patted Amon on the shoulder, wanting to stop: “Oh, I kind of remember, it wasn't like this! Young man, even a cat can be raised like this, the future is limitless! Do as you please. ”

……

This afternoon, Gore called Governor Xiaomo to the temple and asked him, "Governor, what is the source of the snitch and who is behind it? Are we clear on all this? ”

“You sent Wallet this morning to assist Moon in his pursuit," replied Shaw Moore, "and you specifically reminded him to start with Fayor Judah, who has already done so. It was Judas who bought Travellers in the city to report to the Guardian's Office. The man who told Mr. Aroho of Judah's address was a companion who greeted the High Priest of Raphael back to the city. ”

When Judah entered the city, he saw Amon among the crowd, when Raphael sent an attendant out of the convoy to say hello to Amon, and then Judah sent a famous servant to talk to the attendant, asking him what had happened? Then he answered without warning and when Lord Rafael entered the city, he saw an old friend he had met in the desert and sent him to ask for his address. Judah so easily reached the foothold of Amun in the State of Syria, and then sent a snitch.

"Find a chance to arrest Judah's men and get a secret interrogation with a confession and corroborating evidence, and give it to me. ”

Xiao Mo asked puzzlingly: "Dear Archmage, do you want to report Judah to the Egyptian Empire? Isn't it good for us that there are such people in enemy camps? ”

Gregory grinned, “Whether to report him is not my business or not, do you think his little clerk can really beat a great magician like Arrocchio? Even the opponent dared to set it up without knowing who it was. Such people did nothing but fail, and the actions of others were repugnant. Give me the evidence and don't ask about the rest. ”

……

One day later, Amon left Syria City State and did not impress anyone. Raphael personally sent him back to the edge of the Blackfire Swamp and gave him something to say: “This is from Teacher Gore. You decide what you want to do with it. ”

After entering the swamp with Raphael's farewell, Amon opened the object in an unmanned place, a magic instrument that recorded the information of the divine arts. Unlike the eyes of the earth, this magic instrument is only disposable, there is no other use in recording information, and once the information is erased, the magic instrument is damaged.

It contains information about the interrogation of Judah's men and the whole process of Judah's framing of Ammon. Amon looked down and suddenly remembered the samurai Ma Qi who had tried to murder him in Duke town a long time ago, and what the old lunatic had said: “Anyone who makes a choice at the same time chooses the corresponding consequences, whether he wants it or not. … if you choose forgiveness and forgiveness, you must understand and be able to bear the consequences of this forgiveness. ”

He stowed up his magic apparatus and crossed the Blackfire Swamp back to where Link and others were stationed. Link and Medanzo are looking forward to Amon, and the people are cheering. The cave wildlings are also very efficient in their work, and Amon has not been gone long. They have built a rough but solid wall around the temporary settlement, which prevents the invasion of ordinary beasts and relies on the wall to carry out defensive operations.

Ammon envisioned a magnificent city in the future, but that was just a vision, and things would have to be slowed down one step at a time, starting with a steady heel. As the flood slowly retreats, construction can be paved step by step.

Amon led Link, Medanzo and dozens of leaders in the tribe to erect a simple altar to pray for the Goddess of Mu Yun. Amon wanted to attend this prayer ceremony personally, but was persuaded by Link and Medanzola: "Amon God, you are with the Goddess of the Moogyn. Everyone saw you holding the Goddess in your dreams. Even if you don't stand on the altar and accept the sacrifice, don't kneel down to pray with us. ”

Amon laughed so hard that he went with them.

After the ceremony was completed, according to the points of the Mu Yun Goddess in her dreams, Amon brought people down to the site of the original temple to dig, first clearing a dozen feet of thick sludge before digging into the original soil layer of the town of Duke. The temple had been destroyed long ago, leaving little stone on the foundations. Twenty feet further down, hard rocks have been touched, or nothing has been gained. No one will continue digging without clear instructions from the Messenger.

At this time, Amon sensed a faint fluctuation of power and ordered the cave wildlings to dig down more than a decade deep, clearing away the rubble and pumice, revealing a huge rock fused with the subterranean formation below. He ordered everyone to retreat to the ground, with his staff reading words, and his body floating in the air. The rock surface somehow appeared in a glittering pattern, which was the mark of the magic array.

Amon was wondering, and suddenly there was a "boom" coming from the ground, and the boulder split itself into six valves, revealing a hole in the middle, and the stones shined brightly inside. This treasure was not opened by him, but made by Yoon Nanna, waiting for him. Unfortunately, the temple had already been destroyed, and it was unclear how the sacrificial riches of the successive priests had been brought in.

Enrique took away the stones from the town of Duke in the floods, and turned them into a bright rain into the sky, which was witnessed by Gore himself. But the most hidden cellars of the Temple of Mu Yun for centuries were not only laid by the Goddess, but also guarded by the power of the earth. What was in it was not taken away by Enrique and is now left to Amon.

The wildlings who watched around the giant pit did not know what was going on. They saw Amon standing like a god in the sky, taking out his staff, and the boulders at the bottom suddenly appeared flashing patterns, and then split into neat six petals, and there were so many different kinds of stones. It's a miracle! Everyone crawled and cheered.

Amon was also surprised that the treasure contained all the special magic stones, and that there were hundreds of the treasures of the historical priests of Duke Town!

Ammon's first thought was not how much it would cost to replace it. Almost all the main materials used to build the precious manipulators required special magic stones. If he wanted to refine those manipulators in the future, he really lacked other auxiliary materials. But not all of these stones can be used to build magic instruments, which is a great waste, and they are used to build the wealth of a city state.

Amon put away all the sacred stones, and that evening, as the cave wildlings danced around the fire to celebrate, he and Link and Medanzo discussed the next steps in a temporarily piled stone house. With this wealth, after a year and a half of loading, it will be possible to employ artisans and merchants from the surrounding countries for heavy gold, barely allowing adventurers to pass through here.

Link thinks there are too few people here, and there are still many small tribes of cave wildlings in the mountains, who survive the floods very hard, maybe send someone to solicit shelter and build their strength into the castle. Amon nodded yes.

Linkburn is the chief, he has great experience in managing tribes, but building a city state from scratch is too much of a test for him, and all sorts of things are going on. Medanzo is a samurai who trains fighters to fight well and is also an outsider in urban construction.

Together, these people feel that it is not easy to discuss the future. The current situation is still viable, so you can only learn while exploring it. One thing that several people feel deeply is that talent is rare. Medanzo, unlike Amon, remembered two men who met the mayor of the town of Acad, Ditch Chow, the leader of the United Tribe with the Titans of the Plateau, Eusil.

When Princess Xiaoxi was “kidnapped”, Mayor Ditch Zhou organized the entire town to have the materials requested by the Titans of the Plateau in just one and a half days, and organized rescue teams to deliver the materials to the designated location on time to accomplish this seemingly impossible task, without causing any riots in the town of Aqad. This talent is greatly appreciated by Princess Xiaoxi and Prince Feng Nyu, who has been promoted to a more important position in Kish City State.

And that magician, Eucil, is not so simple that he can organize and coordinate the actions of the brainless, limb-developed giants of the plateau, which is not the general organizational and managerial ability! This man may not be very tall in his divinity, but in a sense, he is a more rare talent than a great magician.

It would be nice to have someone like Dickie Chow or Eucil around them, but I can't find them yet. Medanzo suggested: "Iso is also a very capable man, he is half the butler around Theo, who has shops in several cities and states, often organizes convoys to and from various locations, and Iso handles things very well. It's a shame to leave him to guard a manor in the city of Dreamfield. It's best to get it here. ”

Amon thought, "How can this desolate swamp compare to the flourishing city of Menfest? If you don't want to, it's hard to do your best. ”
