Pivot of the Sky

The two had an affair, originally John was a former commander of the Angela Regiment, Theo was a logistics munitions officer and a comrade who had been on the front line together. John couldn't help it, so he took Theo back to see the Great General in a carriage.

As soon as Amon saw Theo, he laughed, "How did you get fat again? You can't be respectful all the time, but also pay attention to sports labor. I thought you were a very diligent businessman, and we wouldn't know each other if you hadn't crossed the desert to Baron to collect your bills. ”

"Because I worked day and night during the Great War, I was tired and dark and thin, and when I came back, my family was heartbroken. I was persuaded to rest and make up for it. I overdid it for the past six months, and I was fatter than I was. ”

John kicked him in the foot, “You call that day and night hard? ”

And Amon asked John, “How's it going? ”

John replied, "It's done. ”

Amon nodded: "Go and invite Miss Themis here. I have something to say. ”

As soon as Miss Thames arrived in the front hall, she bowed down to Amon to salute him: "General, I do not know how to express my gratitude. You and General John not only punished the sinners, but also made the original matter public, a wish I had sworn before the gods to fulfill at the cost of my life. It seems that folk legends are true. You are blessed by the gods and have the glory of the gods in the world! ”

Amon promptly asked John to lift her up and sighed: “I am ashamed that the girl said this. Jules was a warrior who followed me in my battle. He gave his life on the battlefield, but we failed to protect his family, knowing that it was too late. … If you must thank General John, he is the one who went to the farm to investigate, and he is the one who formally lodged a complaint with the city state. ”

Themis kneels down to John again. John was holding her elbow, stopping it, looking at her like he was going to hug her, and his face was a little red. Amon saw the scene and asked: "Miss Thames, John has redeemed your slave deed today, and your vengeance has been avenged. What are your plans for the future? ”

Themis burst into tears: "Thought my destiny was with Sung Yi, the Great General not only avenged me, but left me in the world. My life is yours. Being a servant of this world is hard to repay. ”

Amon waved, “Don't say that. You didn't do anything wrong. You shouldn't suffer such a tragedy. In that case, I have something to ask you alone, and the others go out first. ”

John was still standing there, and Theo grabbed his arm and pulled him out, squeezing his eyebrows and laughing. They waited outside, and after a while, Themis came out. Her eyes were red and her face was red, and she looked down at John and said: "The General invites you to come in and speak to him alone. ”

A little while later, John came out, looking down at Themis, grinning silently at the silly smile of his mouth. Theona wondered, “General John, what are you laughing at? I've never seen you like this before. Any luck? ”

John is still hey laughing without answering, Amon walks out the door: “Of course there is happiness, all the things I have encountered in so many days are annoying things, and today there is finally a happy thing. Lord Theo is also here. Have a nice drink at night and go to the Goddess Isis Blessing Festival tomorrow. ”

……

The annual Isis Goddess Blessing Festival has finally arrived. This year's festival is extraordinarily lively. All the nearby cities and states have come to participate, and just a few days before the festival, Imperial Grand General Amon Daimon Daimon Fitz became the talking point for people in their leisure time.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the vast square, but under the command of the samurai, there was no crowding and pushing, and when the blessing ceremony began, no matter where the corner stood, the divine light that descended from the sky fell on everyone. Amon was armed with a barrel of armor, like a regular guard standing on the edge of the square, responsible for maintaining order around the area. The surrounding people looked at the high platform in front of the distant temple and did not know that it was Amon, who stood beside the famous mainland.

The samurai with distinct armour formed a semi-circular army formation in front of the temple's long steps, where the Virgin held ceremonies on the high stage, behind the high stage was the theological formation of the clergy, and the noble adults watched on the long stage. Maria climbed to the high ground with a golden crown and a bell rang in the temple. Everyone knelt down towards the high ground, and Amon fell on his knees and placed the shuttle gun on the ground at hand.

Instead of bowing his head to kiss the ground, the general looked up at the Virgin. Maria slowly raised her staff and looked at the crowd in the square, seemingly seeing everyone, but having a rating, she looked away from a pair of eyes at the edge of the square in the distance, revealing a shallow smile, then closed her eyes slightly and began to sing.

Ammon does not know what Maria is singing. At this moment, Her Holiness is at the center of a powerful divine array. Ammon's detective magic cannot be sensed, but it can be sensed in her heart.

The tears of the gods on the staff emitted a faint golden light, which grew stronger and less pungent, spreading towards the surroundings and the sky. The great array of magic began to operate, and the golden light converged in a bright beam of light in the middle of the sky towards the sky, and the whole sky became golden.

The beam of light disappeared, and the sky of Monfist was as golden as it had been since ancient times. With a loud bell, there was white light like a light veil, like a waterfall, like snow, like milk droplets, like a drifting feather, and a silent spill of silence. This is Isis' blessing magic, and hundreds of thousands of people in the square can feel its magical comfort, including Amon.

Everyone bowed their heads in devout prayer, and only Amon looked up at Maria. She stood in the midst of all men, shining a holy light. Amon didn't pray, he didn't think anything, he just looked at her. The light fell on him as if accompanied by a gentle singing, as Maria replied in the temple, "What is blessing?"

“If the heart gains the strength it desires, the Spirit will not close his eyes to the people of the Son, witness sin and goodness, let compassion and honesty meet, justice and peace meet, the abundance of the earth accompanies the inner peace of the heart, and wash the unclean soul, it is a gift as well as an examination, and this is the true blessing. ”

If the so-called god really is what Maria says, then Amon will give his body and mind with the most pious oath: the god of Maria, the god she believes in! In the comfort of this light, amongst the multitude of people, Amon feels weak, like a newborn baby with nothing but a whole new life and future.

This weakness is not weakness, but the emergence of pure and prosperous life. Amon had forgotten whether he had lost his power or not, and he had not thought about it at all. He was the only one in the square who had not prayed and was the most focused person to experience this ritual.

……

There were assassins at the Blessing Festival the previous year, and there was another war with the two kingdoms last year. Will this year's festival happen unexpectedly? A lot of people raised their guard in the dark, and just as the ceremony culminated, Walder, the nine-level mage in charge of surveillance of the entire field, suddenly frowned because he heard the thunder of rolling.

Amon, who was forgetting me at the edge of the square, suddenly “woke up" and he heard the thunder, but the thunderous muffled noise came not from the sky, but from the depths of the ground in the east, accompanied by a slight tremor, the earth of the entire city was shaking, but the ordinary people had yet to detect it.

What the hell is going on? Without time to think, Amon instantly carried out space magic and settled the ground under his feet as much as possible. His powers extended and he felt several other powerful combinations of powers, which major magicians such as Wald did not agree to take the same measures.

One of the strongest forces to settle the earth is, of course, the Divine Array from behind the high ground, whose primary role is to assist the Virgin in the completion of the ceremony and to ensure that there is no accidental interference. The people in the square heard neither the muffled sound of thunder nor the slight tremor of the earth, still immersed in the glow of Isis' blessings.

But Ammon and other great magicians feel completely different, the magnitude of earth tremor is very weak, but the power is enormous almost irresistible, so many people simultaneously carry out space theology, can only reluctantly settle in the square center of the central region of Mengfei city without tremor. They felt the shock of magic so fierce, even though they were still in shape, they felt like a canoe thrown away in a wave of wind. It was horrible to know!

The earth trembled for a short time, before the end of the blessing ceremony, and Amon finally took a long breath. In the legend of the Heavenly Pivot Continent, earthquakes are the wrath of the gods over human sin. But it's ridiculous to feel the tremors of the earth at Isis' blessing ceremony, to think of such legends.

Amon gently wiped the fine sweat beads seeping out of his forehead corner, but suddenly the movement stopped. He reacted to one thing and his powers were restored! If not, how could space magic have been carried out? It was recovered without his consciousness, and Amon didn't even think about it when he performed his magic.

Has he completely passed the test and achieved the eighth level of two-sided strength? Ammon moved his body for a moment and suddenly realized another thing, not fully recovering his strength. It is true that the power to use divinity has been restored and far more powerful than before, but the strength of the body's veins remains the same as it was yesterday, without recovery and growth, and he is now in the same situation as an ordinary Lv8 Great Magician.

Amon closed his eyes and carefully realized his condition. Suddenly, he laughed again. The power of the body's blood can be said to have recovered or not recovered. It also needs a process of regrowth. Like an infant adult, it is slowly becoming stronger. It is already unclear whether it is the power of divinity or the power of physical surgery. At last, the power of the two sides of the body is merged into a true unity. It is like stripping a child to change bones.

……

Maria on the high stage, of course, felt the tremor of the earth, but she continued to complete the ceremony with silence and calm when she was assassinated. After the blessing ceremony, the people sang the poetry of the goddess Isis, and Maria walked down from the high platform to lead the priests and city officials into the temple to offer the sacrifice to the goddess, and the ceremony was successfully completed.

However, there is a bad feeling in the hearts of all the great magicians in the place, something must have happened in the distance. That evening, Maria sent envoys to the cities and states night after night to inquire about any anomalies? And the next day, all the important officials in the state of Menfis were assembled to the Temple, and Amon did not immediately return to the territory, but remained in the middle of Menfis.

Big things really happened, big things in the sky and earth, and three things happened at the same time!

……

The earthquake occurred in Cape Town State, the exact source of which was Amon's resistance to the Red Cape defense line of the Uruk Legion. The entire Lower Ecu had a sense of shock, but did not cause too many casualties.

According to the memory of a soldier who was on duty at the East Gate Town in Cape Town, it was a sunny day and the sky suddenly darkened. If you can't look up at the clouds, it's a dark sky, and you can't see the stars and the moon like you do at night. All the inhabitants of Cape Red have left their homes, as have the soldiers in the barracks.

People's minds were overshadowed by a huge fear of the unknown, gathered in a square in the center of town to pray to the gods. Just as people looked up at the dark sky, there were all kinds of lights, like huge, colorful, rootless flames circling with shocks, roaring sounds, explosions like thunderbolts. Then the earth began to shake, and the four towers of Red Cape Town collapsed in a violent tremor, and the houses were damaged by more than half, and fortunately people gathered in the square because of the visions of the sky.

According to the memory of a seafarer who was dozens of miles north of Cape Town, he was repairing a broken boat on the beach and suddenly felt the sky darkening and the blue sea was windless, reflecting the dark red sky. There was a strong flash of light in the sky, a bunch of light balls bursting like sparks at very high altitudes, and then the earth began to tremble violently, as if the rocks underneath had become a monster, colliding with each other and tearing them apart. The water suddenly retreated, revealing a large seabed on the shore, leaving many stranded fish and shrimp behind.

The sailor ran toward the high shore, falling and crashing all the way down without knowing how many of his tracks had been planted. He felt the earth moving and looked back in horror, and he was so scared that he couldn't even run a step on the hillside. The retreating waters roared and formed a high wave wall that plunged back and swept away the boat on the beach. The shores not far away were torn apart by an incredible force in tremors, and sea water poured deep into the land along the crevices.

……

It was as if an enormous blade had been cut into the earth and a gap had been cut out. Land translates to both sides along the edge of the Red Cape defensive line laid by Ammon, and sea water flows in from the north to form a fissure-like bay, shaped like a dagger inserted into the land. The sea water swallowed up the battlefield where Amon had fought the Uruk Legion, passing through nearly four fifths of the land outside the eastern gate of Cape Town, leaving only a narrow passage at the southernmost end.

A new narrow inner sea was formed in Cape Town State, and when the sky was cleared again, the water in the sun was slightly red like a faint light of blood, so the narrow inner sea was later also known as the Red Sea. The main city of Cape Town State, one hundred and sixty miles from the source of the Great Earthquake Tremor, is the nearest large city pool with the strongest sense of shock. There are many deep cracks in the sturdy walls of the city, and many houses in the city state have been damaged to varying degrees, with hundreds of casualties.

The worst incident, however, occurred in the temple, where the sturdy temple building was not damaged, but the Horus statue, which was dedicated in the middle of the temple, broke its wings on the right. The giant stone sculpture fell from height, smashed into pieces, and the gods panicked.

If the vibration is too strong and the entire temple, along with the surrounding buildings, is collapsed, the statue is inevitably damaged. But the temple and the sturdy buildings surrounding the square are intact, and only the most important Horus statue has broken a wing, which is a catastrophic sign with potentially serious consequences.

The statues in the main temple of the city are not ordinary things, from the mining of stones to the cultivation of stone blanks, transportation in place and the decoration of the statues are subject to strict supervision, and the names of all involved artisans are recorded. This giant statue is centuries-old, magnificent and sturdy, without even a crack, how could it suddenly break its wings?

Responsible craftsmen were required to receive the harshest penalties, but hundreds of years earlier they could no longer be held accountable. Citizen Rhode-Dick organized a manpower investigation into the disaster and sent an urgent report to Monfis and King Egeus, waiting anxiously.

The news from all over quickly returned and gave Rhode-Dick a slight relief as he panicked. The same thing happened to the Temple of Horus in all the cities and provinces of Ecuadorian. The man's body, the head of the eagle, and the statue of Horus with its wings like a giant cape were damaged, and the right wing broke even to the altar.

This can only illustrate one thing: the destruction of the statue has nothing to do with the craftsmen who built it, nor is it just the fault of Cape Town State. But the same thing happened to the statues in the Temple of Horus in every city in the country, and only in a few small private temples, the image of the Emperor God remained intact, so what does that mean? It scares people to think about it and keeps all the inhabitants of Egypt cold!

……

The earthquake formed a narrow inland sea within Cape Town State, and Goddess Mu Yun told Amon that this was the boundary of the Jiu-Jiu-Jitsu Divine Zone. The Horus idols in the state temples of every city in the country were broken and damaged, not even the distant, earthquake-free King Dudis City.

According to legend since ancient times, this may not only symbolize the wrath of the god, but also the fall or injury of the god. Pharaoh, who claimed to be the human incarnation of Horus, was supposed to be most alarmed, but he had to come forward and appease the people in order to maintain his theocratic status. But Racis II no longer had to worry, and the third big thing that happened at the same time was the violent death of Ecupharaoh.
