Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 165: 163, I Can't Leave You
Schrödinger bowed his head and replied in silence for half a day: "Yes, I did not pass the questioning of destiny, but it was not extinguished in the trial of the Last Day, an achievement that I had practiced for three hundred years, and although I was still a cat, I had the soul of Best. ”
Amon looked down at her and said, "So you're not an ordinary cat. No cat can be as amazing as you are. You're the imprisoned Best Goddess. Although you are reluctant to listen to me mention that name, it is still true. The reason you can be such a magical cat is still because of the guidance of the Nine Legions, either completely shredded or still imprisoned. You don't want to go back to being the Best Goddess, but you haven't given up on what Best once had. ”
Schrödinger's tone was deeply discouraged: "Osiris had asked me to give him a sign of my soul, but I did not want to. That's what I've been practicing for three hundred years, and it's impossible not to cherish it, not even to expand it, it's even harder to give up. ”
Amon: "Of course, your mood understands that what you have achieved in 300 years of practice is not a sign of your soul, but of the 300 years of gloom, life and power you have enjoyed. The great Goddess of Best, look at the people of this world. What have they left behind in their lives? ”
The cat's head is even lower: “You're right, if I'm still upset, how can a mortal in the world live? I've had enough of my suffering. I'm the most amazing cat in the world to you, but who knows the pain of such a cat? ”
Schrödinger's pain, Amon, of course, is clear. He is a witness to the marks of her soul and has personally felt everything that she has experienced. Amon gently combed the cat's plush with his fingers, turning the topic apart: "You refused to incorporate the marks of your soul into Osiris' soul, but you proactively extended them to me. ”
Schrödinger whispered: "This requires my own sincere willingness, otherwise I will not be able to show the mark of my soul. Osiris, Bell, Nietzsche, these people are not allowed, I will only choose you. ”
Amon stood up and said, "I have a discovery I want to tell you, maybe you already know, but I should have seen it better as a bystander. Let's go to the temple, to the temple I built for you. ”
One cat at a time walks out of the house through the manor to the backyard, Ammon's manor is too big, the so-called backyard is a garden that can run horseback, and the cat god Best's temple is built in the most scenic place. At sunset, they walked slowly and their figure grew longer. As they entered the temple, the last rays of sunset just disappeared at the top of Mount Ho, far away.
Amon stood in the middle of the temple with his back to gaze at the statue of Best on the altar. The statue of the goddess is the head of a cat with lion-haired hairs, beneath which is the body of a teenage girl, sexy and glamorous.
Schrödinger was a little embarrassed to see Amon so intrigued and asked, "Who are you looking at and what are you thinking? ”
Ammon replied, "I was thinking about the never-ending test, like an endless river, that eventually flows back to its source. As if to have experienced and witnessed a lot of life's journey, to see it so clear but unable to move, it is not clear whether it is forgetting or cutting off. I have witnessed it in your soul trail, and I've been thinking about it the other day, it could be the journey of countless lives in the world, or the many lives a person has spent, but the significance of the two is not different.
After passing this test, you will be yourself, with a lifeless source of strength. Now you are still you, not the rest of the world's life, not the never-ending past life history, still the Goddess of Best. Your accomplishments are guided by the Divine System and you should still keep your oaths. You don't want to be Best, but in fact you are Best, which is what Osiris can seal your soul. The easy way out of this is to cut it all off. Only if you don't exist will Best be truly free. ”
The cat raised her head and looked at the statue and mumbled: "I don't exist anymore? So where are we going? ”
Amon was afraid to look back at her and sighed softly: "Your achievements far exceed mine. If I don't even know you, how can I know the answer? ”
The cat shook her head stubbornly: "No, I want you to give me an answer, even if it's just a guess, and I want you to say it yourself! ”
Actually, the answer was long overdue, but I just didn't want to say it. Schrödinger had to ask, "If you unseal this seal of confinement, I don't know where you're going, but I do know where you are. Perhaps in the future, you will be in another sign of life. But you weren't today's Best, maybe you could prove it, maybe you never had a chance to go that far. ”
Schrödinger closed his eyes in darkness: "I understand, I should have, but I never gave up. ”
Amon finally turned back and looked at Schrödinger: “You should be able to do it today. You just need an external force to unseal the seal that traps your soul. This is the kind of external force that you put your soul trail on me, and this is the process, and thank you for sharing with me the secrets of all the achievements you've made over the centuries. ”
The cat still didn't open her eyes: "Yes, I can finally let go of this bondage, but I can't help it."
Amonzo asked, “What are you waiting for? Do you want to continue to be the most painful cat in the world? ”
Schrödinger finally opened his eyes and looked like a teardrop: “I can't resist you. ”
Amon didn't know what to say. Of course, he couldn't bear the cat. Schrödinger has been with him and guiding him since the day he left his hometown. Amon can't even imagine what he would have done without Schrödinger. But he ended up with a hard heart: “I was also one of your experiences as Best, and the real excision included not only the facts you didn't want to face, but also the things you loved, all interwoven together, the seal of confinement of your soul. Real shredding is one thing, isn't it? When you can touch the seal of the captive soul, you have yet another. ”
Schrödinger said in a pitiful tone: "Amon, can you tell me if you still know me? ”
Amon crouched down to touch her, but didn't reach out, just lowered his head and said, "Maybe you have no idea who you are, maybe you have another history, maybe we've met before, maybe we'll meet again. The Best Soul Mark of this world has unfolded to me, and I can leave another mark in your soul, and I will recognize you and you will recognize me in the future. I can't do this at my achievement cost, but the situation between you and me is special, and I can do it for you.
Schrödinger said that his eyes were closed again, and the cat's eyes slipped with tears, and the goddess finally understood the will of the world. Amon suddenly felt something wrong behind him. The statue on the altar seemed to have come alive and had the scent of life. He hurried to stand up and look, but someone behind him said, "Amon, are you looking at me? ”
True truth is the voice of a woman speaking, not from her soul, and he turns around and sees her. The cat named Schrödinger finally became a woman, like the statue of the god on the altar, but not the head of a cat in lion's bristles, but a beautiful woman with a slightly sharp nose and lovely pink lips.
Amon stepped forward: “I finally saw you. You broke the seal of confinement. ”
Schrödinger shook his head softly: "No, it's not a real break, it's just a goodbye before the trip. I restored Best's power, but as long as I use it, I'll leave. ”
Amon: “Maybe you don't have to go so fast. ”
Schrödinger: "There are some things you don't understand, and I can use the power of Goddess Best to help you fulfill your last wish, which also means that I disappear in this world. But I don't want you to see that. I'll be gone before sunrise. ”
Amon looked at the starlight falling on the threshold of the temple and opened his arms towards Schrödinger: “At least now, there is no sunrise. ”
……
Schrödinger left before sunrise the next day. Amon sat alone in the temple for three days, without the presence of the cat for the first time in his life. He didn't know what way Schrödinger would say goodbye to the world, but he knew Schrödinger didn't want him to see that scene.
Amon has never been depressed in the face of any hardship, but at this moment there is a deep sense of frustration and powerlessness, and Schrödinger's excision is not his excision. There are a lot of things waiting for Amon in the distance, but he can't bring up the spirit, he just wants to sit quietly in the temple, as if he had spent hundreds of years.
Three days later, Amon finally walked out of the temple and sent a servant to report to the state of Helio: Celia's messenger had arrived and he was going to take part in the duel, which had long been promised, and entrusted the state of Helio with transmitting the news to Wangdu. Ammon's mere notification was not an application, because the duel was witnessed by two monarchs and no one, including Elahtpharaoh, needed to be consulted. If he did not go, he would be ridiculed by the world.
After the servant departed, Amon departed. He did not bring any entourage, crossed the Ronnie Divine River alone in a leaf boat, and when he arrived on the other shore, he did not tie the boat and let the boat drift with the river. Without Schrödinger, without a leather pocket, without an iron branch cane, Amon walked empty-handed and hid himself close to the ribs of the Pluto, everything important was in his bones.
Amon is not hiding, he is walking in the light of the official road. When he arrived in Helio City State, he was shocked by the city's owners and local guards. Your lords hurried to receive the Empire General and asked him why he had come alone. Amon answered frankly at the banquet that he was going to participate in that world-famous duel and came up with a letter from Celia's envoy.
So that's it! The temperament of the Grand General led all of us here to persuade ourselves to go that far to the covenant. The Lord of the City escorted horses and guards as Amon departed from Helio City State.
The news spread quickly, and when Amon crossed the cities, there was a grand reception along the way, like a welcome ceremony. When Amon arrived in Cape Town State, he reached his warmest climax.
Lord Rhode-Dick, the owner of Cape Town, waited personally at the Territory's borders, the General of the Legion of Ann La welcomed the arrival of the General, and the havoc of Amon welcomed him to Cape Town State. Rhode-Dick is the current Legion Leader of the Ann La Legion, but his prestige is far from comparable to that of the former Legion Leader, Amon, who was mostly treated like a god by an old man who followed Amon to his death.
Apart from the reception along the way, Amon did not say goodbye to anyone and did not communicate privately with anyone. He even endured not going to Dreamfly to see Maria, which did not return, and his private actions could cause trouble for the people concerned. As a result of the monotheistic reform of the new Pharaoh, many things are currently very sensitive in the Ecumenical Empire.
Rhode-Dick sent Amon across the Red Sea and expressed a keen desire to accompany Amon to the duel as a witness on the scene. But Amon categorically rejected the request, and he didn't want to get involved with the city owner.
The topography of Cape Town State has changed considerably, and the original Red Cape defense line has been submerged by the Red Sea, which has been inserted into the mainland, forming a natural barrier that leaves only a narrow passage at the southernmost end and is also home to heavily armed members of the An-La Regiment.
When Amon passed through here, he realized that Moses and others could not walk out of the realm of the Nine Divine Regions from land, because there was only one narrow road and it was the gateway to heavily guarded troops. Escaped slaves can only try to cross the Red Sea in the north if they wish to leave.
A major town has now been formed on the southern end of the Red Sea corridor, not only a military fortress, but also a business corridor throat. People are very lively and busy. The arrival of General Amunda is the biggest event in this town, attracting the attention of all. Just as Amon arrived on the southern shore of the Red Sea, the tribes of Moses and other Duke towns struggled to reach the Red Coast 100 miles away.
……
Moses and others have been walking for six months from the outskirts of the city of Helio, passing through the provinces of Bubbas, Tanis and Cape Verde. Walking through deep mountain valleys without carriage cattle makes the journey extraordinarily difficult. The messengers sent by Seth obstructed their footsteps in various ways, having suffered terrible storms on the way, and huge hails falling from the sky. The heavenly locusts had eaten up all the leaves in the mountains they passed by, and the animals had fled far away, depriving them of food supplies.
Moses, with the help of the Twelve Divisions, had overcome the great danger, and Medanzo and Link had covertly resorted to various means against Sete's messenger. When the dressed tribes finally came to the Red Coast, they could not continue walking. Link guided Moses to lead his people through the timber harvest, to build boats quietly in the valley by the sea, and to escape in the calm of the night.
But for many days in a row, the Red Sea winds were so high that they couldn't get through, they had to wait in the valley. Medanzo couldn't help but rush Link, who had made several covert deals with Sete's messengers, and no one could intervene directly.
But the ship has been built, the wind waves in the Red Sea cannot last forever, and the messengers sent by Seth have not exhausted their means to make Moses and others give up their faith. If Moses crosses the Red Sea, he leaves the realm of the Nine Unions. But at this point, something that Amon had long been worried about finally happened.
……
While Amon passed through the southernmost land corridor of the Red Sea, Rhode-Dick hurried back to Cape Town due to an emergency, as a distinguished guest arrived in the city, Prince Sneck of the Egyptian Empire.
The prince is the eldest son of the former Pharaoh Racis II and brother of the present Pharaoh Elaht. Snake came to Cape Town State, reportedly on an important mission, with his own orders from His Majesty the Pharaoh, and Rhode-Dick should do his utmost to cooperate. Rhode-Dick has no right to ask what this mission is.
In fact, Prince Snake's relationship with Erlacht Pharaoh was not reconciled. As the eldest son of Racis II, he failed to inherit the throne. He also had his own factional power and vast territory in the country, which was not obedient to Erlacht. But this time, in the name of the Oracle, Prince Snake was ordered to come to Cape Town State.
This message was given directly by Chief Angel Seth to the priest of the Temple of the Lord of the Empire, who ordered Pharaoh to prevent General Amunda from leaving Ehu. As for how to stop it, Snake needed to find a way to catch up with Amon and recite the message in person. Until then, however, it was difficult to disclose, and it would be best to persuade the General back by gentle means.
As soon as Amon's front foot had left, Prince Snake arrived at Cape Castle. Heard that the Great General had passed, he immediately sent a magician to chase him on a shuttle. He said that there was something important to discuss. General Amonda and the Lord of Dick Castle rode the horses back to the Castle.
Rhode-Dick returned as soon as he received the order, but Amon did not go to see Prince Sneck. “As soon as I embark on this path, I will not look back, and this duel, witnessed by Pharaoh, concerns the glory and commitment of a samurai and cannot be repented," he told Torrod Dick. Your Highness, no matter what happens, we'll talk about it later! ”
Rhode-Dick can't take Amon either, unless the troops of the Ann La Corps take Amon back to the city, but how dare Rhode-Dick give such an order? Besides, Prince Snake did not say anything specific, and Rode-Dick had to go back and tell the Prince that General Amunda had refused to come and continued to leave.
When Snake heard Rod Dick's return, he realized that things were a little bad, and it seemed that General Amonta wanted to leave Aegu. Because before that, Amon had sent all his family members away, and the slave tribes had already fled. So it really seems necessary to force him to stay.
Prince Snake intends to follow Amon with his army at dawn the following day, when the priests in Cape Temple were guided by the Angel Oracle. Pharaoh ordered the fugitive slaves wanted nationwide to finally be found, and they quietly built a boat in a valley on the Red Coast to prepare to cross the sea.
This is the last resort of Heykwett et al., which directs the pursuers directly to take Moses. At present, they are in the Jedi and cannot hide behind the exposed trail.
