Pivot of the Sky

The murder took place in the city of Eduardo Des, where the victim was a magician at such a sensitive time. Although no trace of the killer has been found, John is the most direct suspect and the man behind the scenes, and one cannot suspect him.

The Pharaoh was furious. If John had dared to do this, he would have been lawless! And looking into John's background, he's really a guy who dares to do anything. Pharaoh sent a special envoy to Cape Town to inquire whether John had ever said that Pharaoh's orders were fart and whether he had sent someone to kill the cleric.

John received the Pharaoh's messenger in the barracks, then drew his sword and cut off the table in front of him, scaring the messenger to the point of not urinating his pants. Rhode-Dick was also at the side, worried that John's impulse would hurt Pharaoh's messenger, and hurried forward to dissuade him. John pushed Rhode-Dick away: "Don't worry, I just want to get things straight. ”

The messenger was supposed to question John, but turned out to be John's. He asked the messenger to answer honestly and give a clear account of the consequences of the incident.

John grinned and replied, "I said fart, in front of the Pharaoh messenger. I was a soldier, and even if I disagreed with the order, I would have executed it, so you replied to the Ecumenical Ministry. As for the death of the clergyman not related to me, I am not guilty of killing him in this way, I will only fight him directly. If he's still alive, I'll kill him, so answer Pharaoh. ”

So Pharaoh's messenger left Cape Town State, but before proceeding, he accepted a heavy gold bribe from Rhode-Dick, from which the Dick Township owner asked the messenger to use his good offices to make minor changes to John's answer. John said fart, but it was the messenger of the curse who speculated on Pharaoh's intentions, not on Pharaoh's orders directly. As for Wang Du's murder, no one can say anything about the unsubstantiated investigation.

Several dignitaries of the Ecumenical Army, such as Blades and Longteng, were also very dissatisfied with Pharaoh's office, John's family was also active, and the final result was not significant.

The death of the cleric was not necessarily linked to the impeachment of John. He owed a great deal of gambling debt before his life. It was difficult to say for what purpose the killer had murdered, and there was no basis for finding it difficult to pursue. John did treat Pharaoh's messenger irrationally and with a flawed speech. He thought at the knockout level that the head of the Legion of Ann La was temporarily Rhode-Dick.

After the war, John was promoted to the third rank by the military company, and now he has removed the first rank, which is equal to two ranks, except that the Legion Leader failed to do so. Rhode-Dick was hard enough, and after Julian's death, the city owner was also the main cleric of Cape Town State. He had just removed himself from the position of Legion Leader of the Sete Legion and provoked the Legion Leader of the Ann La Legion. It looks like Cape Town is in the grip of power, but it's up to him to take care of anything that goes wrong.

The official decision of the Empire to dispose of John was “to think at the scratch level and await conscription”, while emphasizing that the decision was made because "to think of its merits for the country and therefore to take it lightly” and adding a sentence to the official instrument that "Negative General Amonta cultivates and should apologize to the General. ”

The implication in the paperwork is obvious, and look at Amon's face from light to light, John. John did not have the convenience to pay heavily for his military service, but he could not be proud of it, and Amon himself was to be exhorted to abstain.

Now that John had apologized to General Amunda, John was too lazy to report back to the Military Department when he returned to Dreamfield, and followed George straight to Amundo. After listening to what had happened, Amon shook his head and sighed. "Why did you answer Pharaoh's messenger like that? Anyway, there was no theological record at the time. It was baseless. If you bite to death and don't admit it, no one can grab your grip. Besides, the impeacher is dead, and no one else can stand up publicly and continue to get involved. ”

John said categorically, "That's what I said. Even if Pharaoh asked me personally, I would answer that. If it wasn't for fart, why did you take back the order and appoint you as Commander-in-Chief of the Battlefield? Just after the war, I wanted to fix people, and I thought of you when I found someone to die! ”

Amon frowned: “But why did you wave your sword in front of Pharaoh's messenger and cut off the table? If it wasn't for Rod Dick's good offices, the frightened messenger would go back and add some sins, you wouldn't stand it. Can't you suppress your impulse and grudge enough to lose your composure? ”

John replied earnestly: "I was angry, I could feel the power of agitation, but it was no longer out of control, like the potential that existed at all times, and I was free to use it. That sword is just an indication of my attitude. I am angry, but my heart is clear and calm, and I know what to do and how to answer. ”

Amon stared at John for half a day and suddenly laughed: “After your serious injury recovered, it changed a lot. Keep your mind calm in the forces of agitation. This is a remarkable achievement! Looks like you don't want to be the Legion Leader yourself. It doesn't matter if you get cut off. ”

John Haha laughed: "Yes, thanks to your constant pointing, I finally got rid of the double bondage of my body and mind. It has never been easier. That agitated force can no longer drive me, but it has been incorporated into my body and mind. ”

Amon stood up and turned to George: “The three of us, once three commanders of the Ann La Corps, are rarely gathered here today to have a good evening's drink and celebrate John's becoming a great warrior! ”

George also laughed: "Turns out the Great General also saw that John was promoted to the Great Warrior. I didn't mean to say that. ”

John was a little confused: “This achievement cannot be compared to the Grand General and the High Priest. Where's Medanzo? He is also a big samurai, should be here, really want to fight with him for wine. ”

AMON: “What a coincidence. I sent him out to work the other day. If General John Ken stays here for a while longer, he can naturally wait for him to come back. ”

That evening, the three of them toasted the wine together. John didn't seem to be loud in the hall. Amon simply instructed his servant to put up a large account on the open space and place the liquor table there. He also called in the first-hand guards to eat and drink together. The scene was very warm, as if it was time to march again.

John was so drunk, he was taken back to rest. After the sitting, George called Amon alone into the hall and handed him a beautiful bronze box: “General, this is the book you want to see. Only the great magician can open it intact without destroying what's inside, so I will deliver it personally, when you take it out with your own hands. ”

Amon was somewhat embarrassed to say, "It's hard to come to the High Priest personally, and I didn't expect this volume to be so hands-on. When I was in the archives, I only knew that it was locked in a cabinet, and that there was an organ in the cabinet. ”

George smiled bitterly: "In other words, General, it is impossible to leave the Temple of Isis without this scripture. If you want to see it, you can't, but you have to check it out on the spot and not take it with you. I said to Her Holiness, who asked me if I wanted to come here to relax, and I said," Well, she sent me with the scripture, and then I had to take it back with me. "”

Amon was slightly surprised: "What is this? ”

George stunned: "Don't you know the file number you gave me? ”

Amonthan smiled: "I have traveled many places and have heard a lot of rumors. I just know that there is such a file number, but I am not quite clear about what is in it. ”

George glanced at him: "Where did you learn so many strange rumors? Forget it, I don't want to ask, you can watch if you like! Honestly, I haven't even read this volume. According to the records of the archive catalogue index, it is an ancient myth and legend. It may involve privacy matters between spirits. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Human myths like this, which may be disrespectful to the gods, were supposed to be destroyed, but this instrument was a collection from time immemorial, and was sealed. I checked the records. The last time someone borrowed it, it was over 200 years ago! ”

Amon asked somewhat strangely: "So this box has not been opened for at least 200 years? ”

George looked at the box a little strange, too: "According to the archive records, this should be the case, and I don't know if anyone has opened it in the meantime, but it's not always in my hands.... Even I'm curious when you say that. I'll flip it after you finish watching. ”

Both are proficient in advanced information theology. Of course, this box is sealed by theology, but the sealed marks are obviously from recent decades, indicating that someone has opened it privately without registering. Who did it? Eighty-nine out of ten was Bell, and they didn't even mention it.

George opened the copper box in front of Amon, revealed a roll of pale yellow-haired papers, and then quit. Amon took the volume back to his bedroom, without lighting, and opened the window in the moonlight to read, so that it was perfectly clear to his eyes today.

Written hundreds of years ago on grass stem paper, this volume is slightly flawed, but it is well preserved. Unexpectedly, it was written in secular rather than divine script, and the notes were slightly confusing, in the form of poems, like ancient mythology recorded by a folk bard.

The first poem tells the story of Goddess Isis and Goddess Ann La. In this poem, Isis was claimed to be the first human woman to master the language, while Ann La was the ancient god of the kingdom of heaven and earth and the earliest Sun god of Ecu, who symbolized the rise of life and hope.

Isis made a snake out of sand and placed it where Ann La paraded every day, biting the spirits. Ann La is poisoned and feels very painful. Isis came to him and sang, "God, have you been bitten by a snake? Language has the power of wisdom, it can overcome pain, please tell me your original name and hidden language so that you can be healed. ”

Ann La replied, "I am the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Creator of the gods, and within the horizon you can see is my divine domain. I call it Ann at night, Ra at day, Heprit at morning, Artum at dusk. ”

Isis added: "This is not your original name, please tell me the real secret and all this pain will go away. ”

So Anne-La spoke his original name and hidden language, and Isis gained his magical power, becoming more powerful than Anne-La, becoming the guardian of Dreamfist and the whole Lower Ecunae, while the ancient Anne-La retreated to the clouds where the Ronnie Divine River originated.

This long poem blinks Amon straight, and the story told by the bard hundreds of years ago, many places seem to be rather than difficult to understand, such as "language”, “original name”, “hidden language”, these may have other meanings, or just the poet's empty imagination of what he does not understand, some absurd but some symbolic shadow.

In this verse, it is very clear that Isis was a man, not a god. As Amon understood it, it was Isis who mastered some kind of cultivation secret, which was “language”, and from Ann La, who acquired the secret of becoming a god, which was “hidden language”, which might otherwise be referred to as "original name”.

How did Isis gain the divine power of Ann La? Is it just the bard's imagination, or the exaggeration of folklore? But Amon clearly remembered that Schrödinger had said that she wanted to find someone who could save her from poverty and not seek divine power to reintegrate her. Looks like it could happen. I just don't know what's great about it!

Amon dumped his head, let go of his doubts for a moment, and then read the next poem. The contents of this poem are somewhat contradictory to the previous one, and may be legendary in different versions of folk, referring to the “family” of the Jiulian gods.

Ann La is the oldest of the Nine Unions, born in the Taichu Lotus at the source of the Ronnie River. Ann Ra spits out of her mouth the wind god "Shu” and the water god “Fu”, and Shu and Fu give birth to the earth god “Gabe” and the sky god “Nut”, while Gabe and Nut give birth to four gods, respectively “Osiris”, “Isis”, “Neftis” and “Sete”.

This poem does not mention the name of Horus, the god of the Ecuadorian kings of today, and Amon has made it clear that the relationship between the gods is not the kind of kinship between men, but it is only so understood. In this poem, Isis was separated from Ann La for generations, and her divine power did not come directly from Ann La.

If you link the two poems, you can speculate that Isis gained strength from Schutter and Gabe, and then defeated Ann La with this power and other means, gaining the secrets and divine power of Ann La and becoming the supreme queen. After Ann Laden retreated, Horus, the son of Isis, became the king god of the reign of Ecu and held the main god among the Nine Unions.

Amon turned over the third poem, and it turns out that the story is the war of the ancient gods. It turns out that this clash also broke out between the Nine Gods. Some of the plots in the poem still differ and contradict the first two poems. The characters in the story are not like gods, but rather like recording an interpersonal court struggle, like what is happening on the pivotal continent today.

Osiris is said to have become the most powerful god and to be known as the King of the Gods. He symbolizes abundance and manages the life and death of all things. The establishment of the Ecumenical Empire is honored as Pharaoh. His brother Seth Ben, the protector of kingdoms, murdered Osiris by trickery and became King of Upper and Lower Equus.

Sett threw Osiris in the coffin and Isis, Osiris's wife, went to great lengths to retrieve her husband's body. When Seth found out, he cut Osiris' body into pieces and threw it in different parts of Echo. Isis retrieved all parts of the body, but only one piece of flesh was not retrieved and was allegedly eaten by fish in the Ronnie River.

Isis was induced next to Osiris' body and became pregnant, giving birth to Horus. Isis raised Horus as an adult and taught him strength, defeated Seth with the help of the rest of the gods, regained his throne and became the king of the new gods, the king god of Ecu, the eternal ruler.

The Psalm is not over yet, and there is a tail behind it, and Isis, with the help of Neftis, recovered Osiris' fragmented body in the swamp and desert, and Osiris died and was resurrected. The stem paper was broken here, as if to say that the soul of Osiris had reappeared. Seeing that Horus had become the king of the gods, he returned to the Underworld to become the underworld god of the Nine Kingdoms.

Amon finished his third poem and looked up into the window and thought. The content of the poem is naturally processed by the poet's imagination, but there are a few things that can still be proven, and the legend is not unfounded.

Ecuadorians do not eat fish and never fish in the Ronnie River, which is said to contain Osiris' flesh and blood. This divine river leads to the Underworld. Osiris is the patron saint of the Ronnie River. The annual flooding of the Ronnie River alternates with the flourishing of grass and trees, symbolizing the cycle of life and death and the resurrection of Osiris.

The Psalm mentions that Osiris' body was divided into many parts by Sete, and that some of the flesh was eaten by fish in the Ronnie River, which is the source of the Egyptian customs today. Another unequivocal corroboration is the rib of Osiris, now in Amon's hands, which Bell stole from the Temple of Isis.

In this way, Osiris should have abandoned his former body and not returned to the human being, but became the god of the underworld. Does he have a new body, or does he exist like a soul? Amon does not know.

Ecupharaoh's first name, Horus of Man, and after his death, Osiris of the Underworld, all had to build a mausoleum for themselves. The body could be preserved for a long time after special treatment, looking forward to the resurrection of Osiris, which also proved the existence of mythological legends a long time ago.

Amon sighed and lowered his head to look at the last article, which mentions the story of Ecucat God Best. Seeing this, Amon finally understood why Schrödinger wanted herself to read the book. She lost the secret of being sealed by divine power, probably hidden in this ancient legend.

PS: When I wrote this chapter, I suddenly remembered Shawn's famous Hamlet, and it seemed that Shakespeare was inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology. But what Shawn wrote was no longer a god, stripping the person under his pen of the halo of divinity and returning to the manifestation of true humanity. The origins of Hamlet should be ancient Egyptian mythology.
